Friday Fotos — a visit to Ahukini Landing on Kauai

By

One of the last things we did on Kauai was visit Ahukini Landing. Typically, Ahukini Landing is glossed over in the guidebooks. And, even though it’s only a couple of miles from our condo, an old fishing pier that had been removed never quite seemed interesting enough to warrant a visit. At least, not until we were talking to […]

Friday Fotos — Horsing Around with Laurie Hanan

By

These photos were taken by Hawaii writer Laurie Hanan. We begin with a few rodeo shots, then move on to polo, which turns out to be big in Hawaii. As you would most likely guess, horses aren’t native to the islands. They were first brought there in 1803 when a mare and her foal were […]

Kay Hadashi returns to Friday Fotos with an Orchids and Ice tour

By

One of the things I love about featuring photos from others is that I get to see parts of Hawaii I’ve never seen before. This week, Kay Hadashi returns with a trip to parts of Hawaii Volcanos National Park she took while researching “Orchids and Ice.” When you get to the photo of the steam […]

Friday Fotos—around Kauai

By

This week’s Friday Fotos are going to cover a lot of ground on Kauai and we’ll wind up at “Ambrose’s”, which is a tiny store in Kapa’a that seems to never be open. We’ve been going to Kauai for about twenty-five years and the store has been there for as long as I can remember. […]

Friday Fotos—rocky shores

By

On Kauai, there are plenty of rocky shores. This week, we’re taking a look at those down in the Poipu areas. In fact, we’ve even got Spouting Horn spouting. Do you know the legend about why there’s a rhythmic moaning at Spouting Horn? It seems a little Hawaiian boy named Liko was chased into the […]

Friday Fotos—for the birds

By

When Hurricane Iniki struck in 1992, thousands of chickens around the island of Kauai were inadvertently released from their cages. Birds that had once been a source of food suddenly became a source of aggravation. Over the years their numbers have grown and chickens now, in a sense, rule the roost on Kauai. Fortunately, there are also […]

Friday Fotos: Kokee State Park—the end of the road

By

Last week’s Friday Fotos started at the Kauai Coffee Plantation and went about halfway up the road to Koke’e State Park. The week, we continue the trip to the end of the road. It’s unusual to get long stretches of time when the skies are clear up at the top, and our trip was no […]
