Motu Mahana teaser photo

Took this picture a few years ago on Motu Mahana ....... I'm ready for a big Mai Tai made in a fresh coconut right now ........... :)

Make that two!!:D

I'm with the both of you!!! Hurry up Sept.

OMG!!! What a picture!!

Makes me 'home sick'

Dinner we will have two days on Motu mahana!

Tikiintahiti ... those are post-card quality photos! After the winter we have all had, those are nice to look at.

Emdee ...Aloha to you and your family. I have retired now from the Federal Govt., over 30 years, so ...stick a fork in me, I am done.

Mary and I still have Hawaii for this summer planned, and looking at Tahiti for the Summer of 2015 maybe, as there is a 10 day one offered then.

September will be here for you all soon .....

Chuck and Mary

Thanks for the love everyone :)

Tiki, anytime you feel like posting more pictures feel free.:D You really should work for the Tahiti Tourist Bureau.:eek:

Almost all the pictures I post were taken with a cheap $100 P&S camera. My BH & I are professional video/photo people and we have some very good cameras but we haven't taken any of them to the South Pacific. However, on our next trip .............. someday .......... we do plan on taking some good equipment. A good DSLR, multi flashes for off-camera shots & tripods for both camera and the off camera flashes with umbrellas. Our primary intention for our next trip is to capture some video/stills .....

Can hardly wait until we can go again :)

Here is another teaser. Taken in the lagoon of Tahaa. The famed drift snorkel location is just over the top of the thatch roofs between the motus. Not a bad backdrop while you snorkel this incredible location ..... Yes that is Mt Otemanu 13 miles away rising high above Bora Bora .....

Fantastic!:D

Just imagine yourself sitting under the shade with a Hinano in hand. This is one of the popular day use properties while your floating around French Polynesia on the Paul Gauguin .........

Notice the busy beach ........

I took this picture while on Moorea for the day

Beautiful shots!

Thanks for the kudos:)

Miriam-two days!!!!-- Not too hard to take--I have dibbs on the lawn chair on the right-ha

Tiki- I love taking pictures, but have no formal training. Whenever you do take your good equipment I would love to see those pictures too. It is hard to imagine that these islands are that beautiful!! Every other vacation seems like it will be dull (beauty wise) in comparison.

Would it be possible to have a sticky where we can post the one shot that captures everything that sums up PG or South Pacific for each of us?

Mitch you can have both chairs. I can be found in one place only sitting in the water. Motu islander was surprised to find that is precisely what I do.

One of my favorite activities on Motu Mahana!

I didn't get an email from you ............

I did clean up one of your photos but the picture was very low resolution so it wasn't the best but it is an improvement :)

So Tiki, where is YOURS???:cool:

I used your Gmail account- is that no longer active?

Got it this morning after you prompted me to go look at that account.

Thank you
