Torri Station Beach
Today was our first real beach experience in Okinawa. The kids were so excited about it! They could hardly stand the wait. It was a command event so everyone from work was there. Not that I knew any of them since I just arrived on the island. I will say that the beach was beautiful. The water was super clear and the sand was pretty white. This particular beach had a ton of washed up coral that had died. So it was like walking or rocks. The kids had some good water shoes but Linz and I didn't so it was hard on our feet! But we are looking forward to many more beach days in the future!
McKay's Adventure
Bursting Through the Skies
This is a cool beach that I found on google maps. It's pretty awesome how you can find things with that. I use it all the time for scouting out places to visit. The burst through the clouds for just a moment and I was able to capture this shot.
Boat Tied Up
This is one of my all time favorite photos. I love this little boat just sitting here. It look timeless. The color of the water was simply amazing. The rocks that peak out of the water just create an amazing feel to the photo. The sunlight that burst through the clouds just added to the whole beauty of the scene.
Endless Possibilities
This sunrise was taken at Cape Hedo in Okinawa Japan. It is a very popular place to see. It is the furthest north part of the island. I had to wake up early to get to the sunrise and be patient while the sun rose slowly over the horizon. It was an amazing sight. Truly beautiful.

The Green at Sea Glass Beach
I took so many pictures at this beach that I'm having a hard time processing them all. It was an amazing beach and I will keep the memories there in a special place. But there were these rocks along the beach that had some really green covering them. The sun cast some sweet shadows and it all turned out pretty awesome!
The Shrine on the Cliffs
What an awesome shrine that is in Okinawa. I was standing on a bridge overlooking the beach and the cliffs and the shrine temple that I had visited and was in awe of the whole scene. I just loved the whole scene. I was really worried that the sky would have any colors or excitement but it all turned out perfect!
Lover's Dip
What an amazing sunset right? Linz and I do this dip only when we want a good laugh. It is like an inside joke that we do to show the world that we are still in love. Because we are in love. She is amazing and I would do anything for her. I know that life is busy and we can't always express how we feel. But we do find time for eachother every now and again and we try and keep our flame alive. I love her dearly!
Home Beach Home
This is the closest beach to where we live. It is so close and convenient. I love going here. This photo was taken one evening as we went on a sunset adventure. It was just a magical moment when the couds were amazing and the light was just right.
Walking in the Ocean
There is nothing better than a good sunset with the family. We have found this place right next to home where we can get access to the ocean and it is like a hidden gem. The sunset this particular evening was just amazing! It almost looks like Linz and the kids are walking on the water.
Beach Day
Don't you love a good day at the beach. The sun, the sand, the water all makes things just awesome. This beach in Okinawa Japan is as awesome as they come. We spent a lot of time in the water trying swimming with all of the fish. I've never seen water this clear. It is just beautiful!
Mermaid's Grotto
This was an amazing place my family and I visited. Doesn't this place look amazing? My kids and I really enjoyed the whole area. it was a blast. The waves were big enough to play in and the water we clear enough to see clear down to the floor. The cave you can see on the right is awesome with almost like a blue glow to it.
Kennedy and the Mermaids
We took our kids out to mermaid's Grotto. Kennedy was VERY excited about it. She even drew a picture and made us leave it for the mermaids as a note. We went and explore the cave behind her and just had an all around awesome time. Kennedy took her mermiad swimming suit and her mermaid surf board. It was took all of our effort to keep her from diving in the water in search of the mermaids. Such a good girl and with wild imagination.
Waves Crashing at AJ Resort
My wife and I had a getaway at the AJ resort. That morning I went out ot take sunrise photos. This was taken about 1 hour after sunrise. I found this spot along the coast where I was mesmerized by the waves and the cliffs and the water color. I just blew me away. The whole scene was stunning.
