Big Beach Captive

Hawaii - the land of simultaneous sunshine and rain.

It did not rain a drop here in South Maui but the rainbows off Kihei this morning were spectacular.

I still do not understand why I am fascinated by Kiawe (a kind of mesquite) trees, but here is another. At this place a tall cliff dropping into the ocean terminates Big Beach. There is something about the pure blue sky, the red cliffs, the green kiawe scrub and this lone dead kiawe tree which takes me captive every time I walk past.
