Friday Fotos — looking up in downtown Kona

By

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 […]

Friday Fotos — Watching the Kona Big Island surf

By

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 […]

Friday Fotos – Big Island end of the road

By

  During our trip to the Big Island, we had some spare time at the end of the day. We drove out of Waimea (the little town with two names — it’s also called Kamuela) heading north, which is really west, but that’s another story. When we came across a sign on the highway indicating […]

Friday Fotos — two macaws necking at Mauna Kea Resort

By

I’ll bet the post title got you. We found these two little guys just hanging out during our last visit to the Mauna Kea Resort on the Big Island. With their bright splashes of orange, these macaws are the perfect complement to the resort’s tropical setting. I hope you’re enjoying your Friday!

Welcoming lanai at Jacaranda Inn—only the beginning

By

The first close up you see when arriving at the Big Island’s Jacaranda Inn is their welcoming lanai. It is one of the many features about this lovely old inn that is reminiscent of an era long gone. I didn’t measure the distance, but the lanai is between eight-to-ten feet deep. The lanai, however, is […]

Another view of the Big Island’s Jacaranda Inn

By

I posted a photo from the Jacaranda Inn located in Kamuela on the Big Island a couple of weeks ago. (If you’re a long-time local, you may know the town as Waimea. For those with an interest in these types of things, the name was changed due to a postal regulation prohibiting duplicate town names in […]

Friday Fotos – Kona sunset in black and white

By

For this week’s Friday Foto, we’re returning to Kona and a sunset off the coast. I guess I was feeling particularly creative because I shot this one in black and white…of course, my phone was still new at that time, so it’s entirely possible I couldn’t figure out how to turn the color back on. […]

Friday Fotos—a wedding on the Big Island

By

These photos were taken in mid-January on Hawai’i, the Big Island.  The picturesque Hapuna Beach on the Kona coast provided an idyllic scene for our daughter’s wedding at sunset. Sightseeing in the few days we had after the event took us from the coffee plantations in the southwest, to the Martian-esque landscape of Volcanoes National […]
