A lovely boutique artfully showcases bamboo behind their shop in Makawao.

Around Makawao Town--Four

I discovered a bench to rest behind one of the shops in Makawao. Of course, it was empty as everyone was busy with their Christmas shopping.

Around Makawao Town--Three

There are places to discover in Makawao town where there's only peace and serenity, and they're tucked away between the tiny stores.

My series of Makawao photos continues--this design is shaped like the island of Maui at the entryway of a clothing and gift shop in Makawao.

If you use your imagination and tilt your head sideways, you can see that the island of Maui is shaped like the head and bust of a woman.


I live close to the bust--South Maui.

Buddha In The Courtyard

I'm double posting today and may even be triple posting for awhile to meet my goal of 365 posts before we take off for vacation.....and possibly something else. Let's just say something's in the works, and once it happens, we'll probably be outta here. I want to leave a beautiful Maui photo legacy before departure. And ya never know, I might start another DP blog at our new home.

This photo was taken in a courtyard in Makawao, a charming little town upcountry. After I took the photo, a young man approached me and asked me if I liked what I saw. I said "Yes, it's very beautiful", and I could see by the twinkle in his eye, he was VERY happy I had appreciated HIS creation. So I asked him, "Did you do all this?" And he shyly smiled and nodded. I was happy I made his day.

While talking-story with a clerk at a store in Makawao yesterday, we received a message from Spirit confirming the possibility of something new just around the corner.
