Soaking in the beauty

While out on assignment along Judd Trail in Nuuanu, Star-Bulletin photographer Craig T. Kojima got distracted by the beauty of his surroundings. After the assignment, "I took a vacation from the schedule and took these photographs," he said. "There was a foot race to be held there the next day and I'm sure the runners became distracted, as I was, by the simple beauty of the area. I simply had to stop and soak it in."
