Byodo-In Temple is for the birds, too I’ve posted other photos of Byodo-In Temple. It was truly one of the highlights of our last trip to O‘ahu. There’s just a sense of serenity that seems to envelop everything there. On the edge of this lagoon, this dove was just hanging out. When I arrived, I […]

Big Island Bird’s Eye View You guessed it. We planned the helicopter tour well in advance. The weather had been dry for two weeks prior to our visit. Then, we left hot and dry Honolulu and landed in rainy Hilo. We counted down the hours to the helicopter tour, all the time wondering, would we […]

Onomea Bay calling! The was supposed to be just a drive into Hilo to run a few errands, but I wanted to take the back road. We had heard the sounds of Onomea Bay calling, but hadn’t heeded the call. The back road trip was perhaps a way to experiment and see if we could […]

Lapahoehoe on the Big Island beckons During our trip to Lapahoehoe on the Big Island I wandered to the south side of the park. This gorgeous bay, with its blue waters, white surf, and green hills seemed so idyllic. With all this serenity, it’s hard to believe this is the site of a tsunami that […]

Just before our trip to Hawai‘i, a friend suggested we visit Laupahoehoe on the Big Island. The little town is on the northeast side of the island, miles from much of anything other than lava rock and gorgeous views. The interesting thing about Laupahoehoe is that it is the site of the April Fool’s Day […]

One of the things we loved most about our former condo at Kauai Beach Villas was the landscaping. The grounds were lush and green throughout the year. In addition to beauties such as Hawaiian ginger, we had stately palms, a variety of low-growing bushes, plumeria, and much more surrounded peaceful lagoons. The variety in the […]

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 […]

Kilauea Lighthouse views The Kilauea Lighthouse views make this spot one of those must-see destinations for a Kauai day trip. Located along the beautiful Kauai coastline, this is one of those places on the island where you must spend time just taking everything in. This week’s Friday Foto was taken looking toward Princeville. There are […]

Now that we no longer own our condo just down the road from Lydgate Park, I’m not sure how often we’ll get to see these Lydgate Park water views. This was taken on the walking path, where there are plenty of these wonderful peek-a-boo views through the trees. I miss those morning walks at Lydgate. […]

I had to step way back in time to find this shot of what I believe is the Lihue-Koloa Forest Reserve. We had gone for our usual morning walk at Lydgate Park, just gotten out of the car, and I looked west. We had blue skies directly overhead and along the coast, it promised to […]
