Jacaranda



By way of explaining a long absence of blogging I'll only say that sometimes life (and work) get in the way of our being able to do the things that bring us the most joy. But over the last few weeks as I've made Friday drives up to Waimea Airport to check on the weather equipment I couldn't help but be reminded that this is my favorite time of year here. It's that short window of time when the Jacaranda, Silver Oak, and Ohia trees all blossom at the same time. So I've been waiting for a day when a trifecta of conditions come together: 1) It has to be a calm day... not too windy; 2) The weather has to be clear and the lighting good (end of day being best); and, 3) I have to have a set up drone with me and time to fly. All of that came together this past week and here is the result.

Enjoy!
