Yes, our Kaaawa morning dogs are definitely overdue! I was surprised to see that it’s been almost a month since the last gallery of dogs was posted.

This is Ms. Hina. She’s one of those sentinels along the route of our morning walks. She can somehow see us coming [...]

Cats and more cats on this Feline Friday
February 5th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Cats, Photographs
I know I don’t need another camera, but check this one out: The new Pentax Optio I-10. What’s special about it? It features “face detection”. What’s new, though, is that it responds to dogs and cats as well as people.

A wet Saturday morning in Kaaawa
January 30th, 2010 · No Comments · Kaaawa, Photographs
We managed to make it almost all the way through our walk this morning before the rain really started falling. We were within a block of home when it finally got quite wet.
This was how it looked about 7:23 a.m. down on the beach in Kaaawa. Not much sun in evidence, but lots of [...]

Everyone but Annie on this Feline Friday
January 22nd, 2010 · 3 Comments · Cats, Photographs
Do you recognize this classic pose? It’s a cat patiently waiting for her prey to reappear. Since it’s early, I’ll just say that Ms. Wally’s quest was successful, although she had to stand watch for more than four days.
Seven of our eight cats showed up to pose for the camera this week. Only Ms. Annie [...]

Remaking Kona: The Kona Hilton under construction, 1966-68
January 21st, 2010 · 10 Comments · History, Photographs
The sign says, “Entering Keauhou-Kona”.
It sure looked a lot different in the mid-1960s then it does now.
I found this bundle of small photographs in another box of my dad’s stuff. They follow several stages of construction of the Kona Hilton, now the Royal Kona Resort.
Click on this photo for the full gallery.
In several photos, [...]

A cloudy morning in Kaaawa
January 17th, 2010 · No Comments · Kaaawa, Photographs
It was gray and cloudy yesterday morning, none of the colors that we’ve come to expect over the past month.
THis is what it looked like about 7:30 a.m.
We’re expecting more of the same today.
Enjoy.
