Last Day in Hawaii (365:43)

December 26 was the last full day in the sunny and warm environs of Hawaii before returning to reality (and the rain) of Seattle. We spent one more relaxing day at the beach, snorkeling and Boogie boarding away the hours. Just before sunset, we decided to go visit the golf …

Portrait in Paradise (365:42)

This was the first time that all three of my siblings, my parents, and I have been together for Christmas in over 20 years. We have lived in different parts of the world for many years, so getting everyone in the same place just doesn’t happen very often. But thanks …

Christmas Eve Sunset on Hawaii (365:41)

Day 41 of Project 365 was mostly spent on the beach at Kua Bay (without my camera). I snorkeled a bit and swam with a sea turtle. We got back to the house just in time for this sunset. Follow @mikerussellfoto

Who’s Your Hula Daddy? (365:40)

“Who’s Your Hula Daddy?” That’s on a new t-shirt I picked up while visiting the Kona coffee plantation Hula Daddy on December 23 (day 40 of Project 365). Our friend and resident expert of all things Big Island, Andrew Hetzel, is also a global coffee consultant. So when he offered …

An Unlikely Encounter (365:39)

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. …

Mauna Kea Beach Sunset (365:38)

I’m skipping day 37 of my Project 365 for now. I may have some snorkeling photos to add to it, but need to get the film developed first. December 21 wasn’t quite the “day at the beach” that my wife Jenny had in mind for her first full day in …

Place of Refuge (365:36)

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. …

Kona at Night (365:35)

I have not been posting every day, but I have continued shooting. I’ll catch up soon. But for now, here are just a few shots from a couple evenings ago. I went for a walk down Ali’i Drive from our place to the main pier in Kona, about 1 1/2 …

Surfers in the Backyard (365:34)

What makes for a bad snorkeling day, makes for a great day to surf. Our attempts to snorkel were thwarted twice today by big surf. But there were dozens of surfers and people on boogie boards in any cove that had decent waves. Our little cove was not very crowded …

Move to Ali’i Hale (365:33)

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 …
