upcountry in August

This is the first adventure in Maui with my mom this last August. As always lots of fauna photos, clouds & flora integrated into landscapes. The first ones are from the very small but nicely located sun yat sen park on the kula hwy.

These were found in the garden of the winery at Ulupalakua Ranch. Pineapple wine & flowers? win. They apparently started making wine with pineapples way back when their vinyards were young. The result is awesome.

last bit from coos bay

Its been much too long if i'm uploading photos from there, but I had to highlight strange summertime fog phenomenons.

and you should expect many more photos from farther away places to come!

when I ride my bike...

...this is what I see.

Cape Arago, Oregon
