For You With Da-Kine Addiction


It's my fault, I know . . . because I always lie and I always sneak back ahead of schedule. And so for you who still check, this is a photo I took a few days ago.

I was in the bedroom when I noticed that the whole backyard had a slightly reddish glow. So, I ran to the front of the house (which faces west) and looked out of the window. Sure enough, the sky was ablaze. 

I ran back to the bedroom to grab my camera. 

You gotta run because with sunsets, seconds count. The sky changes so fast. 

Here's my favorite shot . . . with the colors reflecting off Wendell's truck bed cover.

Thanks for the pic. Funny to hear somebody in Hawaii use West instead of mauka or makai.

JL said...

Just gorgeous! I will be visiting my parents in Hawaii in February and pictures like this one make me super excited. Loved your posts on Japan, by the way, especially the pics of all the food!

Nice shot! I wonder where I was, to miss such a wonderful sky. Oh well, good that you caught it and shared! (and yes, I have da-kine addiction, lol).

They say timing is everything. I guess in this case, it was. Beautiful picture.

celia said...

Holy Moly!!! So beautiful!!!

Kay said...

Totally gorgeous! I'm seeing some lovely skies over here too.

jalna said...

LOL, Kobi, I was gonna say "makai" but wasn't sure if sunsets are always makai. Hahaha!

Oh JL, have a nice visit!

Aunty, I wish we could predict beautiful sunsets. Then I could go somewhere with a better vantage point.

Matsu! You get da-kine addiction too!

So funny, Anon!

Hey Erick. Love your videos!

OMG, Chet. It totally is.

Sure Mich. I'll send you the original shot. This picture is square and probably wouldn't work.

Hahahaha. Les, I originally read this comment on my tiny phone so I couldn't see who wrote it at first. But when I saw "total crap" I knew that it was you!

Awwww, thanks Celia.

Thanks Kay!

jalna said...

Thank you Kat! I got your card! Wendell had put it on the living room table, and when I came home from work, as I was walking past it I saw Satoshi's face. I thought, hey that guy looks familiar.

jalna said...

Merry Christmas to you too, Mark!

j: I still come by to read the other bloggers if they have updates and got a bonus today w/ your post. Our sunsets are spectacular, sometimes when I walk the dogs the timing is just right when the sun is going down the Waianae mountains and everything gets that red glow. Soooo glorious. Lucky we live Hawaii. Merry Christmas to you and yours esp. Mr. Kona, and look forward to your posts in 2017. God Bless! -N
