An August Afternoon at Airport Beach

I bring you photos from this afternoon at one of my favorite spots: Airport Beach.  But first, a photo of my feet taken while I was reading in bed in my teeny tiny studio--the very same studio that I'm moving out of in a few days time:

Today was my day off with Bryan, and after a late lunch at Longhi's, we decided to hit up Airport Beach despite the ominous growing mass of clouds piling up towards the north.

{rainy skies make for rainbows!}

The wind blew away the darkest of the rainclouds further north away from the beach, so we only get hit by a light sprinkle.  After I assessed that Bryan wouldn't get poured on while camped out on the beach, I trucked out to the water for a crazy hard swim against the current and wind.

It was a blast swimming back towards Bryan after my swim out.  I cruised in with the current with the wind at my back.  I felt so fast!

I got out, dried off, and read my book next to Bryan until the sunset.

And then I stopped reading and starting taking photos of myself.  Like the one taken above, where it looks like I'm standing on the rainbow.

I love my Jolyn swimsuit!  This is my newest piece from the athletic swimwear company.  It has a criss cross back that ties for an adjustable and stay-put fit.  I love the poppin' neon orange color.

You can check out the back of the suit here:

I'm also sporting Jolyn swim bikini bottoms.  Unfortunately, I'm totally spacing on which style bottoms I'm wearing.  Either way, they are slightly more skimpy than other sporty bikini brands (which is good for Maui because everyone here wears itty bitty bikini bottoms) and they sport a drawstring to get a super tight fit.

After taking a few photos of myself, I decided I needed a partner in crime.

We couldn't keep a straight face for too long, though:

{love, love, love how the clouds take on so much color}

{even the clouds hanging over the West Maui Mountains get lit up from the sunset}

and then the storm clouds started to roll in.  They swept up over the horizon and poured rain out over the ocean.  Bryan and I packed up our things and left the beach with a light drizzle spattering the windshield of the car.

Just another gorgeous day on Maui.  Rainclouds and all.
