Hawaii Pink Sky Sunset

High Cirrus clouds in the tropics always produce very pretty colorful sunrises and sunsets. The image above was actually one of the very first Hawaii Pictures I ever took ... a couple of years ago, the first time I lived here.

I know it's kind of cliche, with the silhouette of the coconut tree in the foreground. But, I really liked the colors. So, this pink sky sunset shot is our Hawaii Picture of the Day.

Aloha til next time,

    I love this color of sunset. Though my favorite, I must say, are the purple ones. Nice picture! :)

Shooting Pool in Wichita Falls

Image
I rarely, if ever go to bars. But I make an exception most Monday nights for the pool league I joined. We recently had our last match and I was showing some of my teammates a few of the pictures I've taken along the way. They all wanted copies.  I thought about it, and figured the easiest way would be to gather them up here on a blog post, then share one link.

I wish I had come up with this idea earlier, so I had at least one shot from every week. But in the end I captured a dozen or so "scenes from a bar" that like.

January 1st - Planks

Image
Well seeing as how it's January 1st of a new year and I'm actually thinking about it, I am going to attempt to do the entire 366 pictures of the day.
When possible, I'll write a (related) story to go with it. However sometimes I expect it will be enough just to get a picture posted.
Today's picture is me doing planks.
One of the Facebook groups that I'm in started a January challenge to do 10 burpees and 10 sit-ups every day for the rest of the month. I chose to substitute three sets of 60 second planks for the sit-ups. I also did the burpees this morning, and even had my daughter Joey join in. It was fun.
I'm not one to do fitness type New Year's resolutions. But I did make some pretty good healthy lifestyle habit adjustments last year (although I didn't start until the end of January). I lost a little over 50 lb mainly through improved eating habits (I expect all right more about this in the coming year). But I did also go to the gym twice a week. This ye…

Oklahoma is not All Flat an Early Morning Walk Up Mount Scott

Image
Who would have thought that Oklahoma would have mountains.  Okay, so they are not mountain like they have in Colorado, or even the mountains that I spent the past 2 1/2 years traipsing up and down in Arizona.  But the Wichita Mountain wildlife refuge does contain some significant hills, the tallest of which is Mount Scott at almost 2500' above ground level.


I drove up to the top a couple of weeks ago, took a couple of pictures, then drove back down. 
But this morning it was all about the walk.  It's just a little under 3 miles, but basically all uphill, then all downhill, no real flat spots along the way.  Also, it's a paved road, so you have to be on the lookout for cars going up and down.  That being said, it really wasn't a bad walk at all.  
The views are great.  Especially since we were treated to some very interesting cloud formations this morning. 




In addition, since it just rained last night, even the mountain side of the road provided some nice scenery with qu…
