I just discovered this photo challenge, and I’m excited to join in. This photo was take on the backside of Molokini Crater on a snorkeling trip to Maui. While I was prepared to enjoy the colorful fish, the beauty of the crater, the deep blue of the ocean, and the perfect sky were an added bonus to the trip.

On Maui, we rented a car and drove the road to Hana. Now, the town of Hana isn’t much, once you get there, but getting there is a bit of a crazy ride. Windy, narrow, washed-out in places, it was a harrowing journey, but the scenery along the way was incredible. No wonder people do it, although we decided that the one time was enough for us.
This beautiful pool and water fall were down a small trail near a bridge on the road to Hana. We stopped at several of these, and each one was just a beautiful. But to see this, you have to be willing to get out of your car and walk about a quarter mile down a damp path crowded with roots and wet branches hitting you in the face. It was worth it.

This week, we are on the beautiful island of Maui. Along the road to Hana, there are many amazing waterfalls. People who don’t want to brave the crazy, winding drive will take helicopter outings to see as many of them as possible. We drove, which gave us stunning up close and personal views of them.
Water is the lifeblood of this planet. It’s beauty and force are both awesome and terrifying. For the northern hemisphere, if you live anywhere near mountains that receive snow, June is a month of waiting and wondering. In the mid-1980s, Salt Lake City was hit with record snowfall that led to record flooding. Streets were sandbagged and turned into fast-moving rivers. Already this year, we are seeing weekly reports of people missing or drowned in the high, rushing waters of the rivers and “creeks” that bring the snowmelt down the mountains to the valley lakes. Nature should never be underestimated.
