circle shot media: SENIOR LIVING MADE LOVELY
- 08/18/13 02:39 PM
So many times when I go to visit family or friends in living facilities, you walk in the door and the mood is depressing. The décor is not upbeat or fashionable, instead it is drab and less than uplifting. I found a place that will make you forget that you are in a living facility at all. The buildings are new and modern. The atmosphere has a more relaxed feel to it. APPLE TREE SENIOR LIVING COMMUNITY & ORCHARDS HIGHLANDS LIVING FACILITY You have to check this place out...
As you can see above, the facilities have a beautiful security gate to ensure … (1 comments)
circle shot media: The Whales Are Back!!!!
- 01/20/11 08:38 PM
Each year the humpback whales make their migratory trip from Alaska and the frigid and nutrient rich Bearing Sea to the warm Pacific Ocean and tropical Hawaiian Islands. We are lucky enough to live in Maui half of the year, which means we have the honor of seeing these beautiful creatures during their most active time of the season. When they arive in Maui, they mate, deliver, and raise their calfs. The males are quite active putting on a display for the females. As the mothers deliver their calfs they begin the task of teaching them how to breech and nursing them while … (21 comments)

- 09/15/10 01:22 PM
I had the pleasure of photographing some gorgeous homes during my latest visit to Maui, Hawaii. The latest shoot was at a beautiful home with the most amazing ocean view, settled on the Kaanipali golf course. The day was just like the typical Maui day as far as weather goes... warm, sunny, with a slight breeze. The type of weather I live for. Everything just seems a little better when on this island. When I walked out into the great room of this house... well, what can I say!!!
This is the backyard that you look out onto. What … (6 comments)

- 08/14/10 08:11 PM
I am back in Maui again and loving my time here on this tropical island of paradise!!! I brought my two boys with me this time to enjoy the remaining portion of their summer here, playing on the beach and lounging in the sun. After a long day of sight seeing, we ventured down to the beach to catch another one of God's incredible paintings in the sky...
One of my favorite things to do is to look for shapes in the sky. When I take a picture with my zoom lens on, I am amazed at the different … (6 comments)

- 06/25/10 09:26 PM
Every time I get to go and take photos for a property, I always come across beautiful flowers. Yesterday was no exception. I did a virtual tour for a customer who had the most incredible back yard with so many gorgeous flowers growing everywhere! I only wish that I had the time to get my yard into this condition! I was amazed at what a wonderful job the owner had done picking the array of blossoms and the perfect way that she had arranged them through out the yard. This is one of the largest roses I have ever seen! The colors … (2 comments)

- 04/24/10 04:41 PM
Today was a gorgeous day here in Vancouver, Washington. We had a couple of photo shoots out in the Lacamas Lake area in Camas, Washington. I have spent a lot of time at the lake as my Mother used to live there. As you enter the Lacamas Shores development, this is the first thing that you will see.
The white arrow in the far left corner of the photo above, the house in front of the lake, was my Mother's house before she moved to the beautiful island of Maui. With the sun shining bright, we decided to make a trip to the … (22 comments)
circle shot media: Brutal Bloodshed In Such A Beautiful Place!
- 04/13/10 11:06 AM
While walking through the Iao Valley, I pondered the history of this bloody battle, the battle of Kepaniwai, which means "The damming of the waters" (http://en.wikepedia.org/w/Ki/Iao_Valley). It got this name because when the battle occurred, the Iao stream was blocked by dead bodies.
As you can see in the photo above, the Hawaiian warriors were able to see all the way to the coast line. This made the Valley a great location for their community. In 1790 The Iao Valley was invaded by King Kamehameha when his forces landed in Kahului Bay at the base of the valley. The word … (15 comments)
I don't know about you, but I could handle getting paid to lounge around the pool side, eating and drinking for free while being a part of such an exciting event. Filming is projected to last 4 to 6 weeks. The photo below is the pool side mentioned above. It is a gorgeous posh resort … (20 comments)

- 03/25/10 07:14 PM
Today when I went to the shoreline to take some pictures of the sunset, I saw this dog playing fetch with his master. I couldn't resist shooting these photos! Oh what a life! Looking forward to playing on the beach while the gorgeous Maui sun sets.
What a happy dog he is. After several throws the sun began to set and I was able to watch God paint before my eyes! I find it amazing that the colors of the sunset change so quickly and drape across the sky. The cloud emphasize … (21 comments)

- 03/16/10 11:50 PM
Wow!! What a day!! I went out on a whale watching boat today with my Mom, and boy did we see a lot of whales! The weather was beautiful and the sea was calm. We had only been out of the harbor for about 10 minutes and we came up on a competition pod of humpback whales. Below is a whale expelling the water vapor from their lungs. When they do this, the vaper comes out at 300 miles per hour and each of their lungs is the size of a volkswagon bug.
A competition pod contains mainly male whales … (35 comments)

Why do I love Maui?!! That's simple... The photos below should give you a good idea! This is one of my favorite whale watching spots. The hammock in the middle is there for anyone to use. It is a great way to relax in the warm tropical sunshine.
When you visit the islands, it is important to watch out for falling coconuts!

- 03/11/10 06:03 PM
Sunsets are often breath taking, especially here on the Hawaiian Islands! Each night, I am ready for the sun to go down with my camera in hand. Each day, I look forward to the sunset and wonder what colors the sky will put on display today. Here is a collection of sunset photos that I have taken in the past 11 days. This one was taken from my Mom's lanai.
The colors are always different and the cloud cover displays an array of shapes and patterns that are fun to watch change as the sun goes down over the horizon. … (12 comments)

- 03/07/10 08:35 PM
As we have all heard, on February 26, 2010 Japan was hit by a 7.0 earthquake. The following day, Chile was hit by an 8.8 earthquake. A tsunami watch was issued for the Hawaiian Islands. There was said to be a tsunami coming on both sides of the islands. The tsunami sirens sounded and the beaches were cleared. Helicopters flew overhead and spoke from loud speakers telling everyone to evacuate the area and head to higher ground... Flights were canceled, schools were closed, and people watched eagerly to see if the giant wave would come. The gas stations were packed as many people fled to the gas … (22 comments)

- 03/03/10 05:39 PM
I took a drive today to the lava flows here on Maui. As you drive out further into the lava flow, it becomes very desolate and quiet. I was looking to see if I could figure out where the vent was that the lava had originated from. I came to an area where the lava flow must have been at least 5 to 6 feet tall, and there it was! The photo below is the side vent that released most of the lava in this eruption. The bottom of the photo is where they cut a one lane road through the … (26 comments)

I left the rainy cold state of Washington and jumped on a plane to go and help my Mother with some things that just can't be handled over the phone so far away. When I landed, it was pouring!!! I have been to the Hawaiian Islands many times, but I have never been here when it has rained and entire day. As we got closer to her home and further from the airport, the rain began to slow and the largest, most beautiful rainbow appeared in the sky. When we reached Mom's house the rainbow had grown into 2 rainbows. It was … (19 comments)

- 02/23/10 08:28 AM
This year on Mount Hood about a month or so ago, there was an avalanche. We were driving down the road and looked up as the snow was barreling down the side of the Mountain. Can you tell where the avalanche occurred?
Take a closer look at the photo below. Some of the snow has melted exposing the rock making it a bit more difficult to see the slide area.
The area to the left where the slope levels out to a flattened area is where all of the snow piled up after the avalanche happened. We … (14 comments)

This is Lilly... She is a 10 year old chihuahua that has raised 3 kittens from one litter and 2 more from other litters.
