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 […]

If you’ve visited the little town of Hanapepe on Kaua‘i, you may know about this old gas pump and pickup. One of our favorite places while we’re in Hanapepe is the Banana Patch Studio, where you can watch the locals working away at turning out hand-painted items. I don’t recall seeing this pickup in the past, but […]

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 […]

On one of our morning walks, I caught this shot at Lydgate Park looking out to the ocean. The trades were blowing that morning, as you can see from a couple of the palms. It’s always peaceful here at this time of day. The only ones in the park are those out for their morning […]

On our first night at the Jacaranda Inn, I was somewhat taken aback. It had been a long day of traveling. We were tired and still wound up from the hectic pace of work, mainland traffic, airports, and all the details of our hectic lives. Our room at the inn was hot and stuffy because it had […]

When you’re down by the shore, you can walk amongst the rocks, get your feet wet, and watch for those funny little sand crabs at Nukolii Beach. Those little guys must have an endless job. They’re always toiling away or digging in as the next wave approaches. While it might seem terribly dreary to be […]

Turn left out of our condo at Kaua‘i Beach Villas, then take another left. Walk a little ways and take the path between the two beachfront buildings. Cross the grass and within about two minutes you’ve got this view. Well, gee, what’s not to like? This is Nukoli‘i Beach on Kauai’s East side. The waves can be […]

This week, Friday Fotos is going to Kauai’s south side, where Kukuiula Bay shows off the island’s beautiful blue water and the opportunity to enjoy the water all over the island. This was taken during our morning walk to Spouting Horn back in May. The plan was to walk to Spouting Horn, then reward ourselves […]

We’ve been going to Kauai in the Spring for many years now. It saddens me, but this year will be an exception. Bringing everyone these Friday Fotos is always nice because it gives me a chance to revisit the islands. Maybe we’ll be able to make it late this year, maybe not until Left Coast Crime […]

Last week, we looked upriver and makai (to the mountains) at Oheo Gulch. This week’s post shows the mauka (ocean) view from Kuloa Point, which is just a bit further along the trail. This is the spot where the river in Oheo Gulch meets the ocean and, quite honestly, I had no desire to take a header […]
