Monday, November 18, 2013

We got up early and went to watch the moon setting over the ocean.  This is the view over Hanalei. (Canon 7D) Then we decided to ge a better view over the ocean for it.  So off to Ke’e Beach!  Eleven one lane bridges later (no traffic!!!)… Of course it decide to drop into the […]

Day 335: 16 November

Sunday, November 17, 2013

We started the day at the Farmers Market in Hanalei.  It isn’t terribly large, but is usually very well attended.  This is about half of the Market.  There should be a lot more people, but one of the sources for people is the cruise ships, and apparently the one for today got stopped out at […]

Day 334: 15 November, a Day of Rest…

Saturday, November 16, 2013

We didn’t do a whole lot on the 15th…rested up from the previous days!  It also warmed up (not much, about 80F) but with 100% humidity it takes something out of you! These are actually from the 14th, but fit here better.  The resort was holding fire extinguisher training for the staff. It was all […]

Day 333: 14 November

Friday, November 15, 2013

Thursday night I took a night photography workshop from Kauai Adventure Photography Workshops!  I had hoped to get one of those fantastic Milky Way over the Ocean shots, but it was not to be…cloudy.  There were only a few of us, and we practiced some nice sunset photos, then light painting and long exposure.  Here […]

Day 332: 14 November

Friday, November 15, 2013

We went out to KÄ«lauea Point National Wildlife Refuge (Wikipedia) run by the US Fish and Wildlife Service .  Lots of birds and fun there! The Dailylife Daughter #2’s roommate likes to identify birds, so here is her chance to name a few! (The Roommate says: Red footed Boobies) (All photos Canon 7D) Ohh, eeeh, awww…. (Roommate says: the […]

Day 331: 13 November

Friday, November 15, 2013

We were pretty bushed after our day of mud buggies, so we took it easy the next day.  Here are various flowers and plants around the Bali Hai Resort!  I’d like to hear your opinion of what they are.  I only found a couple on the Flowers of Hawai’i guide sheet we got. Ummm…giant lettuce? […]

Day 330: 12 November: Back to the stable!

Thursday, November 14, 2013

Then it is down the road again! (PL2) And around another corner! (KATV) In to Jurassic Park!  Or at least the Valley where much of it was filmed.  Image long necked dinosaurs grazing in the distance… (A five photo panorama.  Click to enlarge; BACK to return!) (P7100) This should be a familiar mountain.  Besides the […]

Day 329: 12 November

Thursday, November 14, 2013

So we started back and the first thing we found… (KATV) Then we soon stopped again. (P7100) We were passing a WWII bunker that had been carved into the rock here. (P7100) We went in the other entrance… (P7100) The tunnels are pretty clean, but that may be from the tour guides… (P7100) The wiring […]

Thursday, November 14, 2013

At last: Lunch time! We had a waterfall to watch or swim under. (PL2) The Dailylife Dirty Girl! (P7100) The Dashing Driver! (PL2) We circled the wagons, errr, mud buggies, in case of attach by hostiles.  Chickens or cats. (P7100) I mentioned swimming? (P7100) And jumping!  We passed on it.  The thought of cold wet […]

Day 327: 12 November, trucking’ on down the road…

The other side of the tunnel is a valley where they filmed much of Jurassic Park, and many other hits and misses. (PL2) (PL2) Here we come! (KATV) More road. (PL2) Under the road.  \ (PL2) Near the side of the road. (PL2) Yup.  Too much fun. (KATV) WAY too much fun! (PL2) ~Curtis on […]
