I messed up my sleep schedule badly last night. I fell asleep shortly after work at about 5:30pm, and woke up at midnight. I couldn’t go back to bed, so I decided to make the best of it and head down to the beach to take care of something I’ve been meaning to [...]
It’s been awhile since we did the flower thing here on this blog. So, today’s Hawaii Picture of the Day is a nice Pink Hibiscus.
I’m embarrassed to say that I forgot some of my elementary school lessons (I went to Hawaii schools from 2nd-7th grades), because I didn’t realize until after I’d decided to [...]
As promised, here are a few of the fireworks shows at Hickam AFB and Magic Island. We’re lucky living here in Iroquois Point. It’s about a 10 minute walk to the beach, where we can see 2 different fireworks shows …
Magic Island is a bit off in the distance, but the Hickam show is basically right in front of us. Just after those two shows ended, we got another show from Pearl Harbor that we watched on the way home.
I love sunsets, and since my house is right in the Honolulu International airport approach path, we constantly have planes overhead. So, it’s a natural picture combination.
That being said, like any picture, sometimes these sunset airplane shots need a little help to become a bit more interesting. After playing around for a little [...]
Well, I’ve been gone for almost 3 weeks now … after spending many days in the terminals of Hickam, March, Dover and Travis Air Force bases, I can’t tell you how good it feels to be back in my home, in my own bed right here in Paradise.
And of course, I had to head down [...]
On Wednesday the kids and I will be signing up for a Space-A flight back to the mainland. Justin will be returning next year, but Jordan will be staying in North Carolina with her mom. She’s been back with me for 2 years now, and seems like the time has just flown [...]
Today’s Hawaii Picture of the Day is more Birds. This little finch is originally from Australia, but I can tell you at least in my neighborhood, we’ve got plenty of them here in Hawaii.
Aloha til tomorrow,
Todd
Continuing on with one of my mini-themes here on this this blog … military aircraft
Today’s Hawaii Picture of the Day is an OH-58D flying over Wheeler Army Airfield. This is also the main aircraft that I supported last year when I was in Iraq.
Aloha til tomorrow,
Todd
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. [...]
Today’s Hawaii Picture of the Day is another view from our beach at Iroquois Point. We’ve got a sail boat making it’s way into Pearl Harbor, and eventually to our Iroquois Point Yacht Club. There’s a little plane getting ready to land at Honolulu airport. The Ko’olau mountains and Tripler hospital in [...]
