Happy Easter Officers....
Today as I was speeding home from Safeway with my Easter dinner goodies securely packed in the trunk, I glanced over at the little cove near Canoe Beach, and lo and behold, a mother whale and her calf were goofing around really close to shore. So I pulled safely onto the shoulder...aka bike lane and enjoyed the view for a few minutes. I was joined by three or four other cars...all rentals.
Another 5 minutes go by, and along comes the Maui Police Department....two cars, just in case there might be trouble. They were so sweet, checking on me to make sure I hadn't had an accident....surrounded as I was by all the rental cars, what else could it be? The whales had moved on by this time, so the show was over and everyone was moving on anyway. The nice officer wished me well, and drove on....with me calling out, "Happy Easter" at the top of my lungs.
So Happy Easter from me and the whales here in Maui! (small disclaimer, not my photography....pacific whale foundation image)
