Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalaniana’ole…
Known as “The people’s prince” because he was devoted to doing right by his Hawaiian subjects.
He was also a bad ass brawler, surfer and a member of the US Congress from 1903 to 1922.
From the age of three, Kūhiō has been the hero I got to share a birthday with!🙏🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

The ‘I’iwi is a Hawaiian honeycreeper found mostly on Maui, The Big Island and Kauai. They live in cooler climes to avoid mosquitoes that carry avian malaria.
Their red feathers were prized for capes and helmets in old Hawaii.

On the coldest summits of Hawaii (Haleakala, Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa) grows a rare plant called a Silversword. Haleakala’s Silverswords are genetically unique from those on the Big Island…But both are beautiful and unique to Hawaii!🤙🏽

The rain in Hawaii is so unique in its many different forms. Hawaiians have hundreds if not thousands of words to describe these blessings.
Rain is my favorite part of nature to capture in photographs!

Hi Jose! Were you a coach/presenter at SSA?
I was part of the Zoom SSA class. Lockdown sucked but you and the others photographers sharing your work experience and advice…a true bright spot in a dark time! Mahalo and Aloha from Hawaii!

I had the volume down when this video came up because there were people around me in the airport lounge.
Was Janice saying something about not being able to tell one black person from another?
That's kinda how we Hawaiians see white people. 🤣🤣🤣

Today’s overcast skies were a nice break from the hot and blustery winds of the last week here in paradise!
This is generally what our Fall turns out to be.

Haleakala Silversword can live for decades to a century before blooming once and dying. Found only on the summit of Haleakala…Mauna Kea & Mauna Loa have their own subspecies. Rare, endangered and protected.
