Nature Pics
Indeed; I did a kind of delayed double-take once my brain had time to register that it was actually abnormal to be seeing something so normal.

Noice! Thank you.

Re: Nature Pics
Rose, here's a picture from Maui that popped up in my Facebook memories from 9 years ago today, when Beth was running the Maui Oceanfront Half Marathon.

Impressive on every count.
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

Oh my.. how nice! What beach is that? I was aware there is a big triathalon in Kona on the Big Island.
Alas, I am not a runner (not built for it) but I do miss swimming!

Re: Nature Pics
Here is a map of the course. The Half Marathon starts at the Marathon Finish line and goes to the point where it says "1/2 Turn Back" and then back. I don't remember which beach the picture was taken at.

Re: Nature Pics
OhMyWord. The whole thing (entire red line) would be a really long distance. I mean, even in a car that's a very long way. Part of it must have been on the road. I can't imagine access to the beach all that way, but there are many really nice beaches along that stretch. Good for Beth!
Ah.. the carefree warm days.. I'm SO glad we had that break, we really needed it. I will have to post photos from time to time.

Re: Nature Pics
(Some of it was on the road, which was closed to traffic. Some of it was on a bike path. And some it was on the beach.)

Re: Nature Pics
Every time someone posts a picture of Hawaii I'm absolutely flabbergasted by the sheer beauty.

Re: Nature Pics
When I was growing up, and for most of my adulthood, I never in a million years thought I'd ever go to Hawai'i. I've been there 3x now, and to New Zealand.. something I thought was a pipe dream, and many other wonderful places. I am truly fortunate and humbled even thinking about it.

This was the view from the little house that we rented in Hana (on Maui) nine years ago.

V.. I know exactly where that is!! Not far from where we were. We had limited accommodation options due to needing 2 rooms, and Hana isn't exactly a hotel hot-spot. It's a lovely area, if one can manage the drive!

Bummer that the video does seem to work. Let's try this.
