Wishing you all a Happy Easter!

Monarch Butterfly

One of the monarch butterflies that emerged out of its chrysalis a couple of hours prior, gets its bearings and its wings dried before flying off. We discovered several caterpillars on our crown flower plant, that attracts monarch butterflies to lay eggs on the leaves.

Blue Honu

All Nippon Airways has three Airbus A380 Super Jumbo airliners in its fleet. They inherited them when they acquired Skymark Airlines. ANA decided to have the A380s painted as honu (or Hawaiian green sea turtles). This one is painted blue, and is named "Lani".

Three sun rays peek through the clouds at 6:15A on the way to work.

Hold Short Bars

The yellow bars going across a taxiway, indicates where an aircraft needs to hold until cleared by an air traffic controller to proceed onward. This one is at Honolulu's Taxiway R5, to enter Runway 26L/8R.

Mynah

A mynah stands on the hood of my car while I was parked in a parking lot.

Birthday Boy

Yesterday, we celebrated Peanut's 2nd birthday. His first year with us went by fast, and hoping for many more birthdays to celebrate with him.

At The Snap

Team Rice quarterback Derek Carr drops back after taking the snap, and looks for a receiver to throw to during the 2016 NFL Pro Bowl. I slowed down the shutter speed to achieve the motion blur of the offensive and defensive lines, while Carr seem to be frozen.

Front Street Memory

This week's photo shows shops along Lāhainā's famed Front Street from a 2009 photo. Hopefully, the town and its people will rebuild in the years to come. It may have been touristy, but it still held the small town charm. It will be interesting to see what the new Front Street will look like in the future.

Sheriffʻs Escort

Deputies from the Hawaiʻi State Sheriff's Department escorted this Boeing 737 that belongs to the US Department of Justice, and is operated by the US Marshals Service. The airliner made a stop at HNL, and was taxiing out for departure. They stayed until the 737 was airborne.

Si Woo Kim

In last year's Sony Open in Hawai‘i PGA Fedex Cup golf tournament, SiWoo Kim (of South Korea) won the tournament by one stroke, as Hayden Buckley missed the tying putt that could have sent the final round into a playoff. Kim is seen above, posing with the tournament trophy for the sports photographers. I got this shot after the broadcast that I was a part of ended.

Kukuihoʻola Island

Happy New Year!

Kukuihoʻolua Island is located off of Lāʻie Point on Oʻahu's north shore, and is noted for the hole in the middle of the island. During high tides and east swells, it gets battered by waves as seen above.

Sparky Cloud Blast

During one of The Chainsmokers songs, the cold spark machines and the CO2 blasters fire. The carbon dioxide cloud columns blast over the crowd then dissipate, while columns of cold sparks rise at the front of the stage.

Happy New Year! Wishing you all a blessed 2024!

Media Pool

The lineup of television news camera operators for the 2016 Hawai‘i Bowl press conference. This was one of the very few times that the press conference was held at Aloha Stadium, instead of Waikīkī.

In previous years, this game was played on Christmas Eve afternoon, but this year it was played a day earlier on the 23rd.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas!

Sunrise Wing

The sun catches the trailing edge of the wing of our early morning Island Air flight as it approaches the south Maui coastline. The summit of Haleakalā is right below the sun.

Roll In The Grass

Yuki takes a roll in the grass during one of her runs in the yard.

Piano Keys

Taxiing into position for takeoff on HNL's Runway 8R, or the "Reef Runway". These, known as "piano keys", are white bars painted on the runway to signify the end of a runway. I got this photo during the Island Air Dash8-Q400NG media flight.
