Dawn breaks over the Pacific on the lush shores of Maui; white waves crash on a black sand beach, fresh water pours from hidden caves, and black noddy seabirds tuck away on the exposed cliff edges.

Witnessing four different animal litters' first weeks of their lives: a litter of golden retriever puppies, another of goat kids, one of Polwarth lambs, and lastly, a litter of Mangalitsa cross piglets.

Penobscot Bay once witnessed commercial sailing traffic that numbered in the tens of thousands; now, a surviving light tower stands watch over a few lobster pots, a keeper's house, and the rising sun.

Steady winds and consistent waves draw surfers and windsurfers from far and wide to Ho'okipa Beach Park on the North Shore of Maui.

A brilliant October sun rises out over the islands of Penobscot Bay; hillsides blush red, orange, and yellow, migrating waterfowl seek out marshes, and ancient lichens overtake glacial boulders.
