Huna po (yesterday)

Huna. The horns of Mahina are softened. The Moon fattens.

Libby Beach faces West on the North side of Whidbey moku. The Huna po (this shot taken just after the sun was at zenith ... around 1 PM).
Clouds were busy today. Low hanging and a mixed bag of shapes.

Waves! Small swells but long and sure.

The curl of white water

The kani (sound) of ocean playing with the pohaku (stones) at the shore. Beautiful.

So many families of clouds today

The colors of water and sky, land and sea

Back in the woods. Hina (and Jupiter which I couldn't find in my camera) were visible through a hazy gauze cloud cover. The shape of our vardo roof inspired by the curve of haumea and hina (earth and moon) ... we get to see their companionship here.

Huna Moon (Monday, March 2, 2015)

The winds were blowing, and high in the sky I spotted soaring wings. Hawk or Eagle? At one point I saw the white head and knew it Eagle.

The Salmon Berries are blossoming in the woods.

Wild huckleberries are blossoming also

The Asian Pear is blossoming, too

Hawthorne bush ... the light green sprouts are out

Behind the Elderberry sprouts the Plum Tree is in full bloom

Raspberry canes are sprouting

Eagle again, seemingly a long way away from our orchard, it was a day of strong wings and the kind of wind for feathered hunters. One of our chickens was hunted. A hawk ate one of our red hens. Spring is a time for newbird ... babies in nests, parents hunt.
