Aloha Friday Photo
Vivid red rocks at the base of a cliff at Koki Beach.
This week’s Aloha Friday photo was also featured in on the Koki Beach post of my new website, Maui by Photo. As always, our Aloha Friday photo is taken from today’s photo in the Maui Daily Photo Calendar, so if you’re a fan of Maui, you might have seen this shot a few times already 
.
With the shameless self promotion out of the way, I remember being really surprised when we saw these rocks at Koki Beach on our visit to Hana earlier this year. We were there relatively early in the morning, so the beach was empty and the sun was hidden behind a ton of clouds. Made for a nice stroll and listening to the waves hit the beach was very memorable.

As always, you can find me on Twitter as @webnelly, and if you haven’t yet, help support my newest endeavor by following @MauiByPhoto.
Maui Tweetup – July 5th!!!
Wishing we could be there ourselves, @Ucsmiles and many other Maui tweeps are having a tweetup this Sunday, July 5th at Kalama Park in Kihei. Details can be found at http://twtvite.com/lgxgwx and if you make it out there, pass on a big ALOHA from Cindy and I, and take lots of photos. 
Everyone should at least get to attend one of these Maui tweetups, especially if you’ve been lucky enough to get to know them on Twitter. Read more about the tweetups we’ve been to and how this all got started.
Mahalo, and have a good holiday!
– Kris

Aloha Kris,
Mahalo for the plug in re: Sunday's tweetup. I'm off to the store to get a can of spray paint to create our own tweetup banner! We'll definitely have some photos posted on twitpic.
No worries–we'll have one when you're in town in Sept.
Happy fourth of July!
Aloha!
I have recently found video footage of one of my visits to koki when my son was SOOO little(like 5 yrs old).i have to get it to a CD somehow? ! it is always serene there. Oh and when i was a young keiki,we would go Girl Scout camping at the beach once a year. I must say i like it better than hamoa, but hey Hana is the best escape ever! and no forget go by the hana bay, it is a must!.
enjoy your weekend! great photo!

Mahalo ladies for the comments.
@Upcountrysmiles, looking forward to those pics, especially that banner. Seen what you've been doing with your crafts and other posts on your blog, so I know it's gonna be great.
@jalove, you definitely need to find out how to get that footage digitized. My old hockey coach found footage of me in the playoffs back in my senior year of high school, but I never got around to transferring it from VHS to the computer.
I bet those camping trips were a lot of fun. Boy, just the thought of sleeping out under the stars in a place like Hana gives me chicken skin. I do have some shots from Hana Bay back from February, too, and since I haven't chosen a Sunday Photo yet, I'm gonna dig one of those out.
