Just Hangin' Around

Dawn on our last day, the moon lingered in the western sky.

Perfect Day

A calmer day than most this year.

Twilight

High Surf


Some fairly heavy rain and strong winds brought high surf warnings and lots of water up onto the roads and walkways. Here are a couple of surf shots that don't do justice, of course.

Bird of Paradise

Just home from a wonderful getaway to Hawaii. Out of 500+ photos, this one is my favorite.

Java Sparrow

In the early morning on the grounds of Fort DeRussy in Waikiki.

Rainbow Shower Tree


Honolulu City Birds

On the fence at Iolani Palace grounds in downtown Honolulu: Zebra Dove and Red-Crested Cardinal.




Zebra doves are everywhere and their sweet cooing sound one of the most familiar sounds in Hawaii. They are so bold as to be somewhat of a pest in outdoor restaurants, landing on your table and even on your plate, if you don't watch out!
