Choice shots... Pomai!

My wife used to care for an elderly gentleman at his place,
along the Gold Coast there. I could/would hang out with Felix and her.

He was cool... thanks for jogging a memory.

Was out in the yard this weekend and spotted this little guy. The colors were so cool I had to take some shots of it. After some research, I've discovered that it's a False Colorado Potato Beetle.

Here's this mornin's sunrise from Sandy Beach and a Humuhumunukukuapua'a in a tidepool along the coast of Makapu'u past Pele's Chair. Beautiful!

Yep. Beautiful indeed! You picked a perfect day for that, with the ocean being so flat.
And I think you were testing us. Do I get a cookie for noticing that the correct spelling should be Humuhumunukunukuapua'a?
(There's a fish with an even longer name, but I've forgotten what it is.)

I will stay overnight in this little cave along Makapuu's coast sometime!

It's high enough so no worries of tides and it even has a natural bed too.
Not a long hike so I could carry in everything I need.
Will let you know after it happens...

Menehune Man, awesome hike and pics! How far do you estimate it is to where you walked? It doesn't look like there's anything man made in that valley. Are there cattle back in there?

We drove all the way to the back of the valley. That was the easy part...
then hiked up to the left side ridge line, to the top where both ridges meet, and up some more! Mostly on pig trails. But really not far, just difficult.

Only man made things are fences for the cattle and movie set items still in place.

Photo taken from where we started at the small shelter. Made it almost to the pointy spot up there!


Photo of shelter and car from top of first ridge line.


And a Google Earth image of where we made it to!


We could see Hakipuu/Kaneohe Bay to the left(in photos, would've been our right) and to the Kahana valley back on the other. WOW!

Pomai, that shot of Primo bottle cap would make a great promotional ad. Cool perspective.

Beautiful shots, as usual. Thanks, Pomai and MM!

Sunset in January at Diamond Head...

Pomai,

Those clouds really worked with you nicely on that day. Great sunset shots!

Re: HT's Photo Sharing Thread - Chapter 3

Also from 6/22! at the back of Ka'a'awa Valley.
We ate the red mountain apples. Awesome!


And some pretty flowers along the way.


Have to admit I'm pretty beat up and sore this mornin'

Went to the very back of Ka'a'awa Valley today with a buddy!
lost virtual tour

First photo: We hiked to a short distance above where both valley ridges meet and start up the tallest point...
