Did you know the Western Monarch Butterfly population used to be in the millions and last year dwindled down to 2000? Thanks to conservation they seem to be coming back. Quite magical in the grove 🦋🏥 (at Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW8AgzklmtH/?utm_medium=tumblr

3 is definitely not a crowd 🌴🌴🌴 couldn’t sleep so headed out one morning to shoot palms…sunrise wasn’t happening so I decided on shooting a fine art print using a 4 minute exposure. I like shooting here in the wee hours of the morning - guests at the Hilton often stop and ask what I’m looking at standing in the lagoon 🤣.

Scratch another item off the bucket list - catching a sunset from the top of the Ma’ili Pillbox….only downside is having to make the trek down in the dark and hoping someone didn’t break into the car. #shotoniphone (at Oahu, HI) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSpjGo_hnxV/?utm_medium=tumblr

Waterfall Wednesday…short hike up to a new waterfall on O’ahu. Didn’t have a lot of time as i got a bit lost and missed a g-job trail sign while watching the ground 🤦🏻‍♂️ so had to rush back to the car before they locked us in.
