2011 Stand Up For the Whales

Yesterday, I volunteered at the Pacific Whale Foundation's 2011 Stand Up For the Whales event. This athletic event is one of many events held during the annual Maui Whale Festival. Paddlers of any non-motorized craft which included kayaks, stand-up boards, and canoes paddled 3.2 miles from a beach in Maa'alaea to a beach in Kihei.

Other festival events that will be occurring are: 

• Run & Walk for Whales on February 4
• World Whale Day on February 18 featuring entertainment by John Cruz, Anuhea, Willie K, Hapa, and more.
• The Great Whale Count on February 25

52 Weeks

When I first started this blog, I was inspired by one of those 365 projects in which a photo is posted for each day of the year.  As you can see, by the lack of posts, I didn't do too well.  So what I will do instead is 52 weeks starting in 2012.  Now all I need is a camera since my last camera got waterlogged on a trip this past summer (and it was a waterproof camera, too!)

I Love Trees

I saw this beauty on the Molokini Overlook, at the Wailea Gold & Emerald Course, while attending the Taste of Wailea yesterday.

To the Fullest

Life is full of beauty.

Notice it...

Smell the rain, and feel the wind.

...fight for your dreams.
