As I mentioned in my last post, I recently made a Twitter pact with a friend vowing not to give up on our individual Project 365s. (Sidenote…what’s more binding, a Twitter pact or a pinky swear?) The day after making that commitment I decided to take a walk down to …
If you live in Seattle or even just have Seattle friends on Facebook or Twitter, I’m sure you have seen dozens of photos of Friday night’s sunset if you didn’t see it for yourself. It really was one of more spectacular ones we’ve had in a while. I’ve said in …
December 22 (day 39 of my Project 365) was packed full of seafaring adventures. It began in search of whales and ended with snorkeling at night with graceful (and huge!) manta rays. The manta story will have to wait, however, until I get the film from my underwater camera developed. …
On Day 36 of my Project 365, I went to Pu’uhonua o Honaunau, also know as the Place of Refuge. It’s a bit more touristy than I usually enjoy, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t still beautiful. There was a self-guided walking tour through replicated structures of the ancient Hawaiians. …
Today we moved into the rental house down on Ali’i Drive and my two sisters arrived. The whole Russell clan is together for the first time since Rome in the Spring of 2005. But earlier in the day, before the sisters arrived, my parents and I took all of our …
Today we went to Kukio beach on the Kona Coast. I had my bathing suit, but truth be told, I didn’t use it. I was having far too much fun walking around with my camera. In one little cove I saw 7 or 8 honu (sea turtles). (Yep, trying to …

Here is another photo from our recent travels to Prescott, AZ. We were visited by a pair of roadrunners on our first two mornings, but then we did not see them again until the very last day when I captured this moment. Prior to this trip I had never before …
My wife and I recently returned from a trip to Prescott, AZ. We spent over a week there and enjoyed various excursions — climbed a mountain and a butte, drove old Route 66, visited a “town” called Nothing, talked to some sculptors, and watched square dancing under the stars and …
Here’s another one from our whale watching trip near Victoria, BC last October. This time, a pair a humpbacks. Happy Earth Day! Follow @mikerussellfoto
