My own photos from home here in Maui, Hawaii

in #travel8 years ago (edited)

Being new to Steemit, I thought I'd share a little about my home here on Maui via recent photos I've taken.

And I'll start with a photo taken less than an hour ago here in Paia Town.

This photo shows Paia Bay looking northwest. I took it on my lunch break and did a quick dip in the ocean with my wife. A little windy, but no one at the beach. There's the trade off for wind!

A newer south Maui resort. Great pools.

On a friend's boat south of Lahaina

We traveled up and down the south and west coast of Maui this day. So much fun. Caught choke opakapaka!

Grand Wailea, Maui

This is a pretty good shot showing Lahaina Harbor in west Maui.

I love this shot! Makena Cove, south Maui

I call this "The Wedding Factory" because of the mad amount of weddings performed on this tiny beach each day. Gorgeous spot. Can you see the rainbow?

And finally a shot of us sailing on the Shadowfax

I love this shot too. You can see some of us swimming around off the boat. Such a great day.

I hope you like these photos! Let me know if you want me to share more. It's fun to have an excuse to go shoot each day. Mahalo and big ALOHA!

Great to see another person from Maui on steemit. Great places to play here on paradise.Keep up the posting. Aloha.

Whwn you get a chance, fo to the 808 bistro in kihei for dinner. I was the exec chef there for a few years. I miss it so much. Amazing open air restaurant to wine and dine at sunset

Yah, been there many times. We're in Paia, so we don't get to Kihei more than a few times per month. Love the space! I liked it when it was the Greek place too, but it was pretty slow and they moved to Wailea Gateway Plaza instead. Thanks for sharing and I hope you're still cooking! Everytime I've been there, including the deli, the food has been superb. Mahalo!

Amazing pictures. I'm going to Hawaii in December. I've never been, really looking forward to it. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for commenting! You'll have a blast. Our humpback whales come home around mid December, though sometimes come a few weeks earlier. You should plan a whale watch if possible. SO amazing seeing them up close and personal. Have a great trip!

Oh, and here's a shot my wife got a few years back:

There's no place like Hawaii. Wish I was there.

Agreed. Such a special place!

I used to visit every winter. Your beautiful pictures make me want to return!

What stops you from returning every winter? COME BACK!

Awesome pics. It has to be awesome to live in Paradise!

We are so blessed, and we don't take it for granted. Today we had a school thing for our kids, and after we jumped in the ocean and had a picnic lunch on the beach. Now I'm back at work (and supposed to be working but instead very intrigued by Steemit. HAHA!!!)

Great photos! I'll be in Maui in April for my wedding 🤗
Please keep posting!

CONGRATS!!! That's great to hear. Excellent place to get hitched. My wife is a wedding photographer, so I know the industry pretty well. This is a good site for Maui wedding information

Thank you! I just looked at the website and it is incredibly helpful. Does your wife have a website? I'm still looking for photographers.

Awesome pictures. Welcome to Steemit !!

Thanks @logicwins! You're the reason I'm on here! I love your photos of surfing Peahi. You've got skills. Mahalo!
