A Brief Double...

the other evening hubby and I took a drive.  It was so pretty.  We drove 

down to the harbor to look at a boat he'd seen down there.  When we turned around there 

was a double rainbow.  I had my phone in my hand and took a couple of pics.  

it was sprinkling (that's why there was a rainbow) and I was trying not to get wet,

I didn't even have time to snap a panorama photo of it before it 

was gone.

We see a lot of rainbows...maybe even 1 a day.

We were talking about how we should never take 

advantage of the beauty here because it can be so brief, just like this rainbow.

Rainbow Over Waialua...

I was up early Sunday morning since I was on CA time.

It was beautiful!

I drove down to Haleiwa Beach Park to see the ocean.

Even though it's the same Pacific Ocean, it's so much different here.

Mt. Kaala had low clouds resting on the top.

Everything was so Green!

After church hubby and I took a drive out to Kaena Pt. and commented on how

much greener and fuller the mountain was…it's all that rain.

as I came back down Kaamooloa Rd., there was the most beautiful rainbow

over Waialua.

It really was breathtaking and made me think about

the beauty of this place.  We want it left unspoiled, as it has been

for so long.  That's what we love about it…

and all the rainbows.

Ka Ua...

we're in the middle of winter here, which means rain.

In the Hawai'ian language there are over 100 words that describe rain…

where it comes from, if it's coming down slanted or straight, pouring or light,

down the mountain or across the water and when it comes.

I don't mind the rain all that much.  It makes me want to cook/bake when it's 

been cold, rainy and blustery like the last few days.

I think it was 6 years ago when the rain was really bad.  12 inches an hour at

Scholfield…that's a lot of water coming down.  

That's when it gets dangerous with the rivers over-flowing and Lake Wilson

filling up.

but it seems like even when there's just a little break in the rain and the sun comes out

there's always a rainbow to be seen.

no rain…no rainbows.

Rainbow...

I caught this beauty the other day on the way to church...

stunning!

Winter Rainbows

I love them because they're over Waialua!

Summer Rainbow

Yesterday morning, I pulled out of the driveway and was greeted with the prettiest

summer rainbow.

During the summer months, rainbows appear more to the west of us.  Something to do

with the different location of the sun.

What a nice way to start the morning!

No Rain means No Rainbows

On my way to hula the other day, I snapped this shot of rain, blue sky and the beginnings of

a double rainbow.

Once again the conditions were perfect the perfect combination.
