Another beautiful night camping at the beach.

So we car camp at Papalaua Beach Park several nights a week. We do it to avoid the travel time and expense of going back to Hana between two days of Doordashing. Besides, it's the beach in Maui so who wouldn't want to spend as many nights there are possible? In any case, I take photos there practically every visit; and I'll be the first to admit a lot of them wind up looking alike. Still, tonight was special; we were treated to a full moon.

(This particular shot is a digital zoom, and I don't really care for the resulting artifacts. But the composition is perfect!)

Okay, this last shot isn't razor sharp. But by golly, it was taken with a handheld cell phone! And despite the blur, you can still make out the moon's maria (seas, actually lava plains).
