“I have noticed that youngsters given to the climbing habit usually do something when they grow up.” Elbert Hubbard
I climbed trees when I was a young child. I remember getting to the top of a particularly tall tree (to me anyway) when I was about 7 or 8 years old. I was absolutely stunned by the view. We lived on the North Shore of Lake Superior at the time on a ridge about two miles from the lake. There was no development of any kind between us and the lake. Climbing that tree and seeing that completely unobstructed view made a huge impression on me. My world was quite small until that moment. It really hadn’t occurred to me that there was a lot more “world” out there. But here was my proof!
In that tree – I could see “everything”. I was on top of the world!
And here is my Grand Daughter learning to do the same thing! She’s a natural climber – just like her Grandma.

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” C.S. Lewis
I am 60 years young. I’ve had some pretty great experiences in my life, as well as some not so great. But that’s life . . . and I create in my life the experience I want from it . . . no matter what “happens” to me.
Right now . . . I’m sure enjoying this Hawaiian Experience!
We were in Hanalei today just snooping around for some good photo opportunities. I saw this old snag out in the middle of the mouth of the Hanalei River and thought it looked like a great 365 photo op. I carefully set my camera up on the tripod, dialed in the settings I wanted, set the self-timer and away I went to get in position. I had Glen standing out there to set my focal point. However, I just couldn’t get out there fast enough. The current was strong enough that it was hard walking against it. So this was the best I got. We did have the pocket wizards with us, but they were in the car at the other end of the beach. By time we were done running back and forth here . . . I was just kinda done with the whole process. Time to move on to something else! I kind like this shot anyway . . . Glen waiting so patiently for me while he is watching the camera take the shots . . . and it’s a lovely view back to Hanalei and the mountains.
Just another beautiful day in Paradise!
