Wednesday!
Hauoli Makahiki Hou! 2009!

Christmas tree lights through obscure glass in our front window.

and another one.

Seen in Maili recently - it's a Madagascar Day Gecko. First I have ever seen on this island. In fact I originally saw three on this gate before I went in and came out and took this picture.

Hmmmm, no waves. Oh well, press the beach and it's off on a Saturday Bike Ride.
Recently, Betty Dew enjoyed the Makaha Sons in New Hampshire - Read her latest Dew Review.

Kane'ohe Bay was eerily still a few Fridays ago as I went to work.

This shot shows you a more northerly look up towards Kualoa.

Kailua wakes up Tuesday the 16th. Press the picture above for a bigger look. Pardon the dusty window. Next time I'll go out on the garage roof. Technicals - this is a 6 second exposure. It was still pretty dark.

I'm sure a lot of us enjoyed the Olympics, The Thrill of Victory and the Agony of Defeat and all but Betty Dew shares this YouTube UK video with us about a very special Balance Beam routine. - It's a must see item for anyone who enjoyed the Bejing 2008 Olympics.
For decades I have driven by Luakaha but Sunday I got a chance to wander and hike up to the Upper Nu'uanu Stream falls. Accompanied by Dozer the mastiff and his friends, we wandered into the jungle and trekked up the falls past Taro Loi and all sorts of botanical wonders. And as you'll see, 10 month old Dozer was very interested in any little fish or crayfish he saw moving in the stream. Luakaha means - enjoyable, pleasant, as a place to which one is attached; to while away the time enjoyably and indeed it was.

Here's one from Thursday night 7-24-08
Sunset on Kailua Bay 7-16-08 - press the photo above for the Flash slide show.

Sunset July 12th.

Kailua's 4th of July Parade was held Friday morning and you can watch the gigantic photo slide show by pressing on the photo above. The automatic feed on this show may time out so be prepared to stop and restart the slideshow or run it manually. This year, the photography was pretty much from one spot as I was also shooting the parade in High Def. I may have to break the parade video into several chunks or just highlights to fit the YouTube time and size requirements and it will probably take several days to get that online. Enjoy the photos nonetheless!

The Kamehameha Canoe Regatta was held at Kailua Bay Sunday the 8th. Click on the photo above for the Flash slideshow. There is no pdf as the file would be a monster to download. Although it was not the best weather everyone had a good time. Canoe paddlers faced 25 to 30 mph gusts as they paddled towards the finish line.

June 1st.
Yeah, I took a walk down to the beach and took the F828 with me. The initial thought was to shoot just palms because they are all different - like snowflakes and finger prints but, I seem to have been seduced by other things too. Press the photo above for the flash slide show or download the pdf version here.
