Aloha and welcome to this Haleiwa Beach on the island of Oahu. If you’ve been to Hawaii before, you know Oahu is also known as the Gathering Place. Haleiwa is a small town on the north shore. We visited for a day trip in April 2015. In fact, this was the only day during our brief […]

Kona Coast in black and white This sunset photo was taken when we were in Kona in May 2014. Why black and white? It seemed to suit the day. There’s a certain beauty in a black-and-white photo I wanted to capture. It was less about the colors than it was the mood of the clouds […]

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 […]

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 […]

At the Kilauea Lighthouse Point Wildlife Refuge, there’s a small island. Its name is Moku‘ae‘ae Island. According to Kauai Vacation Secrets, the island is five acres. The fact that it’s five acres surprises me because when you’re looking at the island from the promontory, it looks small—really small. There are no permanent residents—other than about […]

Kilauea Lighthouse view to the east Here’s another Kilauea Lighthouse view. This one overlooks the bay to the east of the lighthouse. Seabirds make their homes along the banks of this bay. They nest in the shrubbery and take refuge on the steep inclines where they’re relatively safe. Whenever we go here, I’m entranced by […]

Kilauea Lighthouse views The Kilauea Lighthouse views make this spot one of those must-see destinations for a Kauai day trip. Located along the beautiful Kauai coastline, this is one of those places on the island where you must spend time just taking everything in. This week’s Friday Foto was taken looking toward Princeville. There are […]

I love the old Hawaiian legends and enjoy weaving them into my books. My friend Kay Hadashi lives on O‘ahu and loves them, too. About a month ago, I told Kay I was interested in sharing more of the legends and she volunteered to write up this one about Maui. Forget what you thought you […]

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 […]

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 […]
