Full Hawaiian Rainbow

Full Hawaiian Rainbow

Today’s Hawaii Picture of the day is one of my favorite sights here in the Islands … a nice full rainbow.
This is one of the reasons I like to take my camera with me to work. I spend most of my time keeping up with the weather forecast, and briefing all the […]

Life is a Beach

Life is a Beach

You know, I don’t think there’s anybody who appreciates living in Hawaii more than a 5 year old child at the beach. This is a picture of my step-daughter Jasmine concentrating on spelling her name correctly in the sand during our recent weekend visit to White Plains beach.
I say it’s the kids who appreciate […]

My Back Yard Palm Tree Sunset

It’s been a little while since I’ve taken a Hawaii sunset picture. But since I was running a little late coming home today, and my camera was sitting in the seat next to me, I decided to walk around to the back yard and take a couple of quick pictures.
Admittedly, this wasn’t the […]

This is aerial shot of the Pride of Aloha Cruise ship pulling into Hilo Harbor. It was taken from the window of our C-26 as we were on our way over to the big Island of Hawaii for a day trip to Bradshaw Army Airfield.
Short cruises had been quite a popular […]

Iroquois Point Elementary School

Another one of the things that I’ve enjoyed about living here in Iroquois Point during my assignment here in Hawaii is that the elementary school is about a 5 minute walk from our house. The kids get up every morning, meet up with their friends and head off to Iroquois Point Elementary School. […]

Waimea Falls

Waimea Falls

One of the most popular attractions on Oahu’s north shore, for tourists and Hawaii residents alike is Waimea Falls park. It’s got a great botanical garden, a couple of miles of trails, and of course the famous falls.
As you can see in the picture, you can even take a dip in the pool […]

Hawaii Rainbow Over The Koolau Mountains

With Hawaii’s predominant easterly trade winds, it rains pretty much every day along the north-south oriented Ko’olau mountain range in central Oahu. This is not a good thing if you want to play golf in Mililani, or at Schofield’s leilehua golf course in the afternoon.
But, it IS a very good thing if you like […]

UH-60 Bucket Drop

UH-60 Bucket Drop

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 Surf Picture

Hawaii Surf Picture

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 […]

Marine Corps CH-53 Sea Stallion

For people who’ve spent any amount of time on the windward side of Oahu, the image above may be a familiar sight. It’s a CH-53 Sea Stallion flying out of Marine Corps Base Hawaii at Kaneohe Bay.
I took this picture from a pontoon boat out on the bay (which can be rented from the […]
