7:45AM. Bright sun. Blue water. Breeze off the ocean. Mourning doves coo. The mourning doves have had it goin’ on the last week. Males walk up to a female, bow, stomp their feet, then spread their tail feathers. Oh, yeah. … Continue reading
8:53PM 73. Night. Clouds. Surf back. Strong, cool breeze off ocean. Humid. Kauai is old. Old and moody. It goes from sunshine to dark clouds in a moment, from dry to cloudburst. It’s peaks sharp and jagged, there are notches … Continue reading
