Working up at Wheeler Army Airfield, there’s always something interesting going on. All of our helicopters do a wide variety of training every day. In this photo, a UH-60 Blackhawk is practicing buck drops near the approach end of the runway.
The Waianae mountain range is in the background.
Stay tuned for more Hawaii Pictures [...]

Ok, so I know it’s not the North Shore or anything, but I took my kids to White Plains beach near Barber’s Point yesterday. The kids had a great time playing in the sand, and shallow water near the shore. Obviously, most of my picture were of them. But, since I had [...]

And as far as the views go [...]
Given the positive reaction to yesterday’s post, I thought we’d keep today’s Hawaii Picture of the Day in the same “neighborhood”.
This is a picture of the outside of our house. We live in the Puuloa section of Iroquois Point; just down the street from the Elementary School and mini-mart. If you look over [...]
Aloha,
Today’s Hawaii Picture of the Day is going to be a little bit different. One of my readers, Lorie, left a comment the other day about she used to live here in Iroquois Point. Since she went to the trouble of providing her old addresses, I thought it might be fun to take [...]
In addition to sunsets and palm trees, rainbow pictures are instantly recognizable as a symbol of Hawaii.
This morning as I was driving over to Schofield to get some Diet Mt. Dew and a Local Bento, I noticed a little rainbow up over the Waianae mountains. Since my camera was sitting in the seat next [...]
