In brief, these posts serve to introduce new readers — and reintroduce regular readers — to photos from the early days of this blog and, occasionally, to photos from days before this blog came into existence.

Two Galleries this week for a total of 71 photos.

There are two blog posts associated with the photos — HERE, and HERE — and the photo galleries are HERE and HERE.

Most photos were taken with the P900, A few with the D7000, and there might be a few here snapped with the Note II. Sometimes, you can’t tell them apart.

We begin with a small gallery in tribute to Paniolos. When people think of Hawaiʻi, they’re probably not thinking Cowboys, or more accurately, Paniolos. And yet, the influence of the culture is present on all the islands. 

There’s interesting reading to be had about Paniolos competing in the 1908 Chayenne Rodeo on the mainland, and winning.

Only one gallery this week, a bit longer than last week’s offering; 83 photos.

There’s one blog post associated with the photos — HERE — and the photo gallery is HERE.

The photos were taken with the D7000, the P900, and the Samsung Note 8. Sometimes, you can’t tell them apart.

Anyway, the gallery is about visiting Kapaʻau, a town in the Kohala district of the Big Island.

That’s not it . . . that’s a photo taken outside the front door of our condo using the Note 8. Pretty impressive what that phone could do. Then again, Hawaiʻi . . .
