Sand Crab

One of my favorite things about Living in Hawaii as a kid was hunting for sand crabs on the beach down at Bellows.

The picture of this little guy was taken right here at the beach at Iroquois Point. Around sunset, as the tide is coming in, the crabs all start to come out. [...]

These are non-pro surfers, and fairly small waves. But even so, it’s fun to try to catch the shot [...]

Whew, it’s been a long day here in Hawaii. First we had the kids May festival at Iroquois Point elementary school. It was called Na Pua O Hawaii which means The Children of Hawaii. I took a ton of pictures, but have only had a chance to process a few. The [...]

Pit Bull

Published by aloha under Opinion, Pictures

If you’re Living in Hawaii you’d better not be scared of pit bulls. The pit bull terrier has got to be the most popular dog in Hawaii. My family and I used to go down to the humane society all the time, and I swear about 85% of the dogs had at least [...]
