A lone kōlea — golden plover (Pluvialis) — seemed to be testing the water and thinking about a trans Pacific flight from Kaʻaʻawa beach to Alaska this morning. I pretended to be a nature photographer snapping many frames and hoping to get some good shots. Alas, nature photographer I am not, but I thought you would like to see what I made with DH’s iPhone as we walked the dogs. I applied the noise filter in Adobe Photoshop for the effect in the large photo.
Is this a good day for flying?
Shall I go now?
Umm, nope! Maybe later.
Actually, it’s a gorgeous day. The migratory bird no doubt was distracted by my presence and waited until I left. I hope it decided to take flight because conditions are beautiful! Aloha, a hui hou, e kōlea!
