Day 168: Back to Kauai!

Thursday, June 21, 2012

This is the Spouting Horn in Kukui’ula. As the waves roll up to the shore, water is forced into lave tubes and is squirted out with weird noises. It is pretty impressive. There was a bigger one.  It threw water a hundred feet up or so.  A plantation owner dynamited it because it blew salt […]

Day 167

Monday, June 18, 2012

Tripping the light fantastic with a Franklin Gull! (1/6000s f/6.7 ISO500 400mm -1 stop) He was actually flying into the wind, and not really moving.  He just kept running on the water. (1/6000s f/6.7 ISO500 400mm -1 stop)    (1/4000s f/6.7 ISO500 400mm -1 stop) (1/4000s f/6.7 ISO500 400mm)   (1/8000s f/6.7 ISO500 400mm -1 […]

Day 165: Glacier National Park!

Sunday, June 17, 2012

I was hoping the Going to the Sun Highway over Logan Pass would be open, but they delayed it a couple of days.  Lake McDonald was nice, however!  (1/90s f/13.0 ISO100 28mm -1/2 stop) (1/180s f/13.0 ISO100 75mm -1/2 stop) ~Curtis in Glacier National Park! {!-{>

Day 164

Sunday, June 17, 2012

Coming back from my trip to Kalispell yesterday I found a few Mountain Goats above Goat Lick, US Hwy2, in the section in Glacier National Park. (1/1500s f/5.6 ISO800 400mm)  “Can you hear me now?” (cropped from the photo above) (1/500s f/5.6 ISO500 400mm) (1/750s f/5.6 ISO500 400mm) (1/1000s f/5.6 ISO800 400mm) (1/750s f/5.6 ISO800 […]

Day 163: Living the dream…

Saturday, June 16, 2012

Back before I was born, oh so long ago, Mom and the other chil’n (as I heard it) gave the Dailylife Pappy (to be!) a 1931 Model A Coupe.  It was not in the best of shape, but my sister got to drive it all over, and my brother got to drive it all over, […]

Cap’t Andy’s Cruise! Aftermath…

Monday, June 11, 2012

I guess we had too good of time out there on Cap’t Andy’s boat.  When we got back to shore there was no power.  A blackout covered about half of the Island of Kauai.  It is very strange to see McDonalds shut down at 9pm… We had to drive back to Lihue, about 20 miles, […]

Day 161: Cap’t Andy’s Cruise! Part 9

Monday, June 11, 2012

Sunset.  It is billed as a Sunset Dinner Cruise, after all!  Note the other sailboat on the horizon. *** I don’t know if it deliberately ran in front of the sun or not, but it is a big ocean to sail in… *** Our Captain. One of the crew took these for us. She hit […]

Day 160: Cap’t Andy’s Cruise! Part 8

A Whale Free post!  I promise!  But what’s THAT??? … Over there! That Splash! (Darned bouncy boat…) It’s a, it’s a, it’s a…Spinner Dolphin! And a pair by Cap’t Andy’s newest boat, the Southern Star! After this brief non-Whale stop, we were off again for our port and the setting sun! ~Curtis off the Napali […]
