Waterfalls

20 years ago

This is shamelessly off-topic, but the rain has me stuck indoors and I wanted to share a couple of pictures that will help explain why I love where I live.

It's been raining all week and looks like it's going to keep doing so for a while. We really need it, and the plants are happy, but it seems like this year it's been all or nothing-- either flash floods or drought. We're about a mile and a half from the Ko'olau range, and built the house on a hill to take advantage of the view. After a big rain when the clouds clear up a bit there are almost 50 waterfalls visible from the lanai. I couldn't fit them all in the frame, but this will give you some idea of the natural beauty we've been blessed with here:

and a closer look:

You can even hear the roar off in the distance when they're flowing heavy. I never get tired of looking at that, it's so amazing to me!

It looks like the worst of the rains may have moved off now, but they had to close Pali Highway due to mudslides, and that screws traffic up pretty bad. Luckily we haven't had to go into town but we're participating in a sale at Waimea tomorrow so we're hoping for minimal wetness. Even if we don't do well, it's always nice to have an excuse to drive up to the North Shore!
