Makapu'u/Makai Pier for moonrise

Rabbit Island

 Today was a beautiful day for a drive to the windward side. There was blue sky and just enough wind to allow the hang gliders to sail in droves over Makapu'u Beach and the lookout. They were having a great time and truly mesmerizing the tourist with some of the stunts, I must admit even I was taken for a loop by them. The moon rise was good also even though the cloud layer was low. There were still good shots to be had. It was great to see the club members turn out for this shoot. I enjoyed the ride over there and the ride home, the moon was full and high in the sky.......aloha

Happy New Year

Susan and Nicole 

 It is finally the last minutes before midnight. For the first time, the fireworks display is being held at Ko Olina, there will be fireworks at all four lagoons. It is the largest display on Oahu. We took our beach mat, some sparkling grape juice to celebrate the incoming New Year. The display was right next to us and the fireworks were the best that we have seen in Hawaii in a while. Lets hope that this will be the new trend and we will not have to go into Waikiki for the festivities any more, it was great to be so close to home. Well, let the New Year begin.....aloha
