Moloka’i,
has stunning waterfalls.
This one is a double.
Hawaii is experiencing a severe seven-year drought.
It would be a triple or more with normal water flow.
Maui in particular is suffering from the drought.
It looks more like drought stricken Southern California, than a verdant tropical paradise.
But, it is still beautiful Maui.
Cheers to you from Moloka’i & Maui~

even with the drought, it’s beautiful, indeed! Stunning emerald green against the waterfalls!
Thank you very much Kathy. Much appreciated my friend დ
Into every life a little waterfalls must.
True very Yoda დ
🙏
Fantastic images.
It’s kinda odd to think about facing a drought surrounded by water… I know it’s salt water :-/
Remember The Ancient Mariner stuck dehydrating in the becalmed sea, crying, “Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink.” Hopefully Coleridge wasn’t prescient დ
Amazing photos.
Thank you very much Marie დ
Even with not much water the waterfalls are very, very impressive!… That climate change – the droughts, the floodings, the vanishing of the glaciers – makes me very concerned and nervous…
Stay safe, dear Cindy!
Yes. I feel exactly the same. We don’t seem to fully appreciate what we are destroying დ
Yet, where I live in Arizona, we’ve been getting rain and off for more than three weeks. I haven’t seen this much rain for years! But we need it so bad!
I am so glad you are getting the rain. I have been reading about it. It is feast and famine with the weather lately დ
Yes, Mother Nature is being very fickle!
Our poor Mother.
What a sight to behold!
Yes indeed. Water has been falling down these high peaks across the mists of time დ
Beautiful post. Before I knew where it was, I thought of Norway. Verdant greens a water.
Yes. Stunning Norway. Very similar. There is much more water in Norway fjords though, unless they too are experiencing drought. I sincerely hope not. დ
I fell in love with Oslo and wanted to return. Most of Norway, Sweden and Denmark we see on foreign language films and shows on MhZ which we watch almost daily. Listen in the foreign language and read subtitles which often do not include the more colorful words if you get my drift. It is hard to envision a drought in Hawaii though. Enjoy your time there! oxox
I agree with you, Oslo is wonderful. We love and have been all over Norway. Svalbard and Greenland was on the calendar when covid hit. I like Nordkapp, all of happy Norway is special.
Cindy, great to hear of places I have been to and some which are on the bucket list. Greenland has intrigued me too. Lucky you to have explored most of Norway. Perhaps someday. Meanwhile, I can live through the eyes of others and read of their adventures. Enjoy your day and week ahead. oxox

Enjoy oxox

Wow! Sooo beautiful!!!
Merci beaucoup mon Ami დ
Incredible Cindy.. we have been to Hawaii three times but never made it to Moloka’i and will make sure to do so if we get that far again… I did enjoy Moloka’i mules however.. what a cocktail..♥
Laughing….. I have never tried a Moloka’i Mule! Time for a new experience. Cheers to you Sally & thank you my friend დ
Make sure you are sitting down and don’t drive afterwards lol.. ♥♥
That sounds like A Cusco Sour. That knocked me off my feet!
Lol.. I would be interested to see any photographs you took after drinking one! ♥
Laughing…..
You gave your post the perfect title. The scenery is stunning. What a shame about the drought.
Thank you Mary. Droughts are particularly terrible when they go on for many years as they are in California and Hawaii დ
How on earth did you get those fabulous shots – are you a mountain goat?? Our drought has just broken and the relief is palpable. I hope rains will come for many states.
Smiling. I wish I could climb like a Mountain Goat! I took in them a helicopter with the doors off. Congratulations on the end of your drought. That is so worthy of celebration! It is sad living in an extended drought region დ
Wow – that is even more exciting/scary! You are quite the adventurer. We had an extended drought for some years in Texas and then the weather patterns shifting and we had floods. Mother Nature has us in her grasp.
Yes. Mother Nature is not happy with us.
Stunning photos, Cindy. So vivid I can almost feel the cool tropical air. Great share!
Thanks so much Michele. I am very pleased you enjoyed & cheers to you დ
Cheers!
You are certainly getting around. Doors off on Molokai. Another chopper excursion around Maui(?)
I believe they’re receiving less than half of their annual rainfall amounts. While the amount they’re receiving seems a lot for us on the mainland, for them it is a significant shortfall for them. A tropical ecosystem is much more sensitive to such changes. And, of course, they are experiencing the same water issues caused by growth and development.
I think I am pretty much hooked. My daughter and I are doing doors off Channel Islands National Park next. It is an amazing way to see and to take photos დ
Good for you girls. 🙂
დდ
Gorgeous! Must have been a fun flight.
Thank you Dave. It was incredible დ

So grateful for YOU Sharon. Thank you my friend and be well დ
It is still beautiful. I did not know Hawaii was experiencing a drought. I will be praying for it. I know when we were not getting the rain we needed in June and July, I was really concerned for the farmers, who are dealing with enough issues, but in August, we have had so much rain! I was never so happy to see the rain. 🙂
I relate entirely to how you felt when you finally got the rain. What a blessing დ
Yes!! God’s blessings to you Cindy!!
დდ
That indeed is a stunning waterfall! Your images of the waterfall and landscape are stunning, too.
Much appreciated John. Thank you very much & cheers to you დ
Wow! Spectacular scenery Cindy. Thanks for showing us places and nature I’d never see otherwise. <3
You are most welcome my friend. Thank you for traveling along with me. You make the experience better დ
7 year drought! I was not aware of it? Unbelievable! My like button does not work? I thank you for the pictures. I hope there is an end in sight. 🙁
Thank you for you kind thoughts and words. They are much appreciated. Cheers to you დდ
Our planet is getting hot in an unprecedented rate. Years to come may witness more of severe droughts ending these beautiful waterfalls.
Yes. It already is happening. დ
Gorgeous! I doubt a fish would survive that trip.
No. To tall to fall, too high to fly! დ
I hadn’t heard about Hawaii’s drought. Somehow that really drives home how wide-ranging and incisive changes in the climate affect even place one might consider safe from certain scenarios. Not so. 🙁
Yes. Exactly how I think and feel, especially as we are home now at The Holler under unprecedented heat warning and fire danger დ
Sorry to hear that. I hope it will cool off and rain soon!
დდდ
Absolutely magnificent Cindy. So gorgeously different.
Honored and humbled by your very thoughtful comment Helene. Thank you sincerely დ
Even with the drought these pictures stunning. I hope the drought will end soon.
I hope so too. It is devastating when it goes on year after year დ
Wow!!!! So breathtaking 💜💜💜
Merci beaucoup mon Ami დ
Breathtaking captures, Cindy! Just wow. 💜💜💜💜💜
Honored. Thank you very much & cheers to you დ
Thank you for sharing…You truly are living my dream. I’m a waterfall junky and every road trip I take it has to lead me to a waterfall. My bucket list of waterfalls Maui. I’ll see you one day.
I hope we do meet gazing in wonder at a wonderful somewhere on this tiny little planet of ours. Stay safe & well დ
