Anenome Crab

One of the very unique critters in Hawaii's ocean is the Anenome Crab.
After finding a suitable shell, the crab will place Anenome's on the shell to help disguise it from preditors.
In this video I was lucky enough to get some great macro video of the little guys face as he works to move the big shell around. This one goes out to my nephew Nate!

Holiday season means big surf

This is the time of year for holiday cheer and big waves on Oahu's famed north shore.
This time when opportunity came my way to sit and film, I took roost on the rocks of Waimea Point. The first part of this clip shows Sharks Cove in Pupukea. Now its hard to grasp the size of these waves unless you are familiar with the area, but the rock wall being swallowed by white-water is about 10-12 ft above the water line. Next you will see the famous Waimea surf break from a different viewpoint and a crew of couragous folk testing mother nature!
May you all have a safe holiday!!!
