This photo was taken during our May 2011 trip to Kauai's Kokee Park. There aren't a lot of sunny days up there, and it can get downright chilly (for Kauai). But, we were lucky and had a short break in the clouds. It was amazing to see all the way to the ocean from a point so high up and so well known for its rainfall. I can't recall another trip where we've gotten so … [Read more...] about Friday Fotos – looking mauka from Kokee Park

Friday Fotos – Big Island end of the road
During our trip to the Big Island, we had some spare time at the end of the day.

We found a … [Read more...] about Friday Fotos – Big Island end of the road
Friday Fotos – Spouting Horn on Kauai

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 be a beautiful, clear day. Most mornings, the view mauka was cloudy and we had never seen these … [Read more...] about Friday Fotos — Lihue-Koloa Forest Reserve
Friday Fotos – the clouds move in on trip to Iao Valley
During our last trip to Maui, we decided to take a trip to Iao Valley. It had rained heavily the night before, but we didn't realize how much rain had been coming down in this area until we turned onto the road to the valley. During the trip, the clouds were playing peek-a-boo with the mountains around us. It was a spectacular sight and one that had me wanting to stop the car … [Read more...] about Friday Fotos – the clouds move in on trip to Iao Valley
