Maui Skimboarder #1

Finally! Here's my first photo from my recent trip to Maui. What were you expecting; a jungle or a sunset? Sorry, I just found this action shot of a skimboarderer at the beach in front of the Westin Hotel in Kaanapali too much fun to resist. I didn't actually set out to photograph anyone skimboarding, but I guess the tide was just right when we were going to our Luau as there was a crowd of surfers at the beach at that time.

Where Am I?

Have you been wondering what happened to me of late? Well if you did it sure is nice to feel loved! Actually I've been on vacation in Maui, and then when I got back I had a bad "power-down" on my computer which ultimately meant I had to rebuild my computer right from reinstalling XP etc. I spent most of the long weekend trying to avoid having to do that, but all to no avail. I thought I had it covered with a backup of my computer with Norton Ghost, but it turned out I didn't. Luckily all my files were safely backed-up; I learned that lesson some time ago. Now I've learned the hard way how to really use Norton Ghost properly to make sure I can recover my computer without having to rebuild and reinstall all the software.

So that's what I've been doing the last 2 weeks. So I'm finally getting to the point where I can start taking a look at my photos from Maui and sharing some of them with you. I can't wait! So stay patient and stay loyal, Dear Subscriber. I really appreciate it!

Dear Subscriber, I will be away for the next week and won't be able to post any new work for about 10 days. Please don't go away!

Alpine Meadow #5 with Orton Effect

This photo of an alpine meadow of tussock grass was taken from the side of the road on the way to Milford Sound in New Zealand's Fiordland National Park. It was such a spectacular sight.
