I’ve done photos of Kauai’s Pineapple Dump before, and if you’ve seen the cover of “Kauai Temptations,” you’re familiar with the view. This, however, is one of those very cool places on Kaua‘i where you really get away from the hustle and bustle. There are a lot of people using the walking/biking path, but there’s […]

I’ve said before that we liked to walk the beach on Kaua‘i whenever we were there. On this particular trip, the jellyfish had invaded the East side of the island. Nukoli‘i Beach was filled with jellyfish and—since we were walking barefoot—the trip became one of nearly constant jellyfish alerts. The tricky part became when the […]

This is just one of the many stunning architectural masterpieces at Maui‘s Kepaniwai Heritage Gardens. This one is in the Korean Garden and fascinated me. The intricate details are even more impressive up close. Though a drizzle kept coming down during our visit, we were mesmerized by the peace and serenity of this incredible place. […]

Aloha and welcome to this Haleiwa Beach on the island of Oahu. If you’ve been to Hawaii before, you know Oahu is also known as the Gathering Place. Haleiwa is a small town on the north shore. We visited for a day trip in April 2015. In fact, this was the only day during our brief […]

I took this Lydgate Park morning photo during our 2012 trip to Kauai. Four years. It’s hard to believe. However, those Lydgate Park morning walks were special events for us. In fact, each of them brought something different—whether it was the formation of clouds on the horizon, the trades blowing differently, or the way the […]

Kona Coast in black and white This sunset photo was taken when we were in Kona in May 2014. Why black and white? It seemed to suit the day. There’s a certain beauty in a black-and-white photo I wanted to capture. It was less about the colors than it was the mood of the clouds […]

Whimsy, downtown Kona style While walking around, even while on vacation, it’s easy to miss things. For instance, I get caught up with what’s going on around me. Fortunately, this is one of the little details in the architecture of downtown Kona I didn’t miss. I’d never seen a drainpipe-guzzling fish before. Come to think […]

Looking back to our 2014 trip for this Kona Big Island surf photo. It sure looks like the guy in the photo is doing a lot of watching and planning. Unfortunately, the washed-out skies made taking photos on this particular day a bit difficult. The thing is, when you’re on vacation in Kona, there are […]

At the Kilauea Lighthouse Point Wildlife Refuge, there’s a small island. Its name is Moku‘ae‘ae Island. According to Kauai Vacation Secrets, the island is five acres. The fact that it’s five acres surprises me because when you’re looking at the island from the promontory, it looks small—really small. There are no permanent residents—other than about […]

Kilauea Lighthouse view to the east Here’s another Kilauea Lighthouse view. This one overlooks the bay to the east of the lighthouse. Seabirds make their homes along the banks of this bay. They nest in the shrubbery and take refuge on the steep inclines where they’re relatively safe. Whenever we go here, I’m entranced by […]

Liliuokalani Park in Hilo is paradise A friend of mine who lived on O‘ahu once told me I should put Liliuokalani Park and Coconut Island on my list of things to do the next time we visited the Big Island. When we were there on our last trip in March, we made it to the […]
