Maui...finally!

Hip, Hip...Horrah! I just got through the ga-zillion photos from Maui and uploaded them to share. Again, what a wonderful time- memories just flood back from the days spent in paradise and the privilege of sharing them with Maya.

Spring

"I'll never force you to leave", said Spring
"But gently guide you in the correct direction."
With that, Winter quietly took his coat, and departed.

Maui



Great news! We found the sun on the warm sunny, sandy shores of Maui. I was happy to see it's round happy face again, after months of mushrooms, mud-puddles, snowmen and slush. I'm still in the process of uploading photos and recovering from 16 days of island-brain, but here are a couple to help soothe the soul back into normal life.

I leave you with some Jimmy Buffett lyrics....parrotheads...enjoy!
The great whales travel the rhomb lines
Dodging those deadly harpoons
Spawning their young, as their ancestors done
In the depths of her hidden lagoon

There are times I find myself with them
And times I feel as they do
Were on a similar course, it's just a different source
But I'm endanger of extinction too

High of 57

February came without warning.
Wasn't it just yesterday it was December?
It's not very fair that nature plays these sneaky games.
But she redeems herself by throwing down days like this.
Giving us a glimpse of spring and reminding all of us
About her simple beauty.


Drum roll please......

From our neighbors trail cam...

Wonder if they have a Jenny Craig meal plan for bobcats? Looks like someone is finding plenty of rabbits & squirrels for breakfast...
