A total of 2,405 miles. It was a fun trip staying in some fun places, exploring wineries, old historic towns, beach towns and even a few Native American casinos. See the opening page of my web site and go to the travel folder. 

Below is a map showing the general path and places we stayed. I have a folder containing selected images from the road trip: This is a link if you need that.  https://www.ericschaerphotography.com/p818797804

We head back to Seattle and have an amazing stay to remember.

The camera can only capture a moment in time, but the connections to these images carries with it a story in our minds. Come visit this Island if you have not already. Its a perfect way to disconnect and re-connect at the same time.

We picked this resort as we have stayed here a couple times (including just last August of 2022) and loved it. Each family has their own room on the same floor so it allows us all to have our own space but also gather together a lot. Our room is on a southwest corner facing the ocean. Its beautiful and has a huge outdoor lanai (patio). We can even see and watch the resorts Luau from our Lanai. 

Everyone had a great time yesterday. We also did a few walks out into the Town of Kailua Kona. Yes a bit of a touristy place but lots to see and its right on the ocean. More on the town later.

Starting up my photo blog again with a trip planned to the Big Island of Hawaii.

We have been to Hawaii many times (see this link to the folders with images from past trips:  https://www.ericschaerphotography.com/f384118789 )

This is a big trip as we are taking our extended family for the first time. There will be 10 of us.

I can’t tell you how many times I find I forgot something once I am on location. Not this time. I have it all organized and documented in a spread sheet. Also, Below is an image of the equipment that I will be taking on our trip.

I have learned the hard way… its best to be organized.

I plan to blog and post images of this trip as it develops. Three of us, including me, will also have drones. We are very aware of the rules to remain safe and are looking forward to some great photography and video opportunities.

If we are successful, we plan to put a video to music of our adventure and images. Stay tuned.

Our trip this last January did not disappoint. I have photographed on most of the islands but this is our first trip to see the whales.

They were magnificent. I also got up to the top of Halaeakala Volcano for the sunset. For more images go to my "Place" tab:  https://www.ericschaerphotography.com/p428830850

Stayed in The Turtle Bay Resort. My wife Shelley and I normally don’t stay in Resorts but decided to try this one out.

Was very nice and lots of hiking and photo opportunities.

Hoped to catch some of the big surf the area is known for but as I was aware- wrong time of year.

Sometimes it just happens that me and my trusty Jeep are in the right place when the light is right and time allows me to stop and take in some Photography.

The Pantone Institute of Color holds a very exclusive secret meeting twice a year to determine a hue to represent the year, and to drive design.https://www.pantone.com/color-of-the-year-2017

Had some fun at home putting together some green images.

The color, texture and patterns of peeling paint were reminiscent of a painting. I also think this might be the same train car that Photographer Art Wolfe has published. I was feeling very lucky to have found it by accident. I had Nevada Art Printers make a 24 inch x 48 inch Lumachrome HD print of it. It came out amazing. I plan to include this print in one of my shows this year. Its for sale too if you like it.
