52 Weeks of Nature – Week 10 | Hawaii Landscape Photographer

Posted on March 8, 2010

I have been wanting to take a walk

around Mokapu Point

for a couple of months now.

I finally did this week.

The ocean has been a bit stormy

the past few weeks.

High winds, cloudy days,

passing rain showers…

I know what you are thinking!

Poor Thereasa!  Living in Hawaii!

Brings to mind Conan O'Brian's Sketch

with Triumph the Dog.

"Oh!  Poor Hawaii, a little cloud!"

Well, I happen to like the stormy seas.

They have a beauty and majesty of their own.

It boggles the mind with how strong the waves are

and all the different directions the water can move at once.

I am in awe.

This crab was being battered by wave after wave

and yet was never washed away!

Talk about strength!

On my way back to the car,

I saw this post

and it made me chuckle!

I had to share. :D

Isn't it amazing where trees and plants

choose to live?

This one has been here

for quite a while

judging by it's size!

Edited to add new versions of the above images

after playing with some different processing.

I like the images above,

but for me

they just did not "wow" me

and so I was a little disappointed in myself.

I kept coming back to them,

trying to figure out

just what they needed.

They needed to look like what I see

when I look at the scene

in real life.

These are MUCH closer

and I am much happier with them.

I hope you are, too.
