Thanks, Alan. Actually, South Maui is usually rather dry, and everything must be irrigated. This beach is in Kihei, which usually gets 8-11 inches of rain a year. Last year was wetter than normal, and this year has been much wetter than normal, so there is a lot of lush green vegetation, even in areas that are not routinely watered.
Perhaps I added a touch of saturation (<G>), but that was an absolutely perfect day, with blue skies and resulting blues in the Pacific. This was taken from a grassy hill overlooking the beach in the Maui County Beach Park (Kamaole III) across the street from the condo where we stay. It is one of dozens of beautiful beaches lining the sunny West Coasts of Maui. The sand on all the beaches was much thinner and lower this year than in the past, because of a storm in early January with high winds and heavy surf. The sand returned somewhat while we were there, but is still not back to normal.
