We spotted Mānana Island from Makapu‘u Point while we on our driving tour of O‘ahu. This little island is less than a mile off the coast and is uninhabited by people. It is a bird sanctuary and, while we didn’t see any birds from the coast, I’m sure they were enjoying the day. This is a […]

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 […]

A whale of a time at Bishop Museum The skeleton of an adult sperm whale has hung in the exhibit hall at Bishop Museum since it was purchased from Ward’s Natural Science Establishment in 1901. The museum originally paid $2,500 for this specimen. The whale is more than fifty-five feet long and the eighteen-foot head weighs […]

I was in awe wandering around the Byodo-In Temple lagoon. Hawai‘i is a special place to me, but the serenity filled the air in this beautiful place. View the Friday Foto of the lagoon.

Fiery Oahu sunset near Ala Wai Harbor I’ve shown a couple of similar photos before, but while sitting on our lānai looking out over Ala Wai Harbor, I just couldn’t stop shooting. I kept going until there was very little light left. Meanwhile, they were gearing up for the luau six floors down. Between the […]

Wave action but no blowhole at Halona While we didn’t see the Halona Blowhole actually do its thing, we did see some good wave action. The ocean was a gorgeous blue, as was the sky, and with gentle trade winds, it was close to perfection…with that one little disappointment. More from the photo archives SaveSave […]

Welcome to the Bishop Museum One of our “must-do” items for our last trip to Hawai‘i was a trip to Bishop Museum. In all the trips we’ve made, we’d never been there. Most of the time, we weren’t on O‘ahu, but that’s another story. This time, I was determined. And I am so glad we […]

Byodo-In Temple Lagoon View Our visit to the Byodo-In Temple was well worth the trip. This was one of the places on my “must see” list and even though it was undergoing a major restoration during our visit, I’m happy we got there. This is just one small section of the temple. The front is […]

Looking east from the Halona Blowhole We’d heard the Halona Blowhole was something great to see. A Do Not Miss while on O‘ahu. That might be true if you’re there at high tide. We were unfortunate enough to be at the blowhole during low tide. It’s the only reason I can think of for the […]

Crashing waves at Laupahoehoe When we visited Laupahoehoe on the advice of a friend, we had no idea it was going to be such a wonderful place. The park has a huge expanse of grass where kids can play and just beyond that are these incredible views of the ocean waves crashing. There were a few […]
