Day 12: A Flashback!

Saturday, January 11, 2014

It is hard to believe that two months ago we were on Kaua’i.  The warm, tropic breezes are in distinct contrast to the 50-70 MPH winds here, although with daytime temperatures around 50F it seems pretty tropical compared to the -20s and lower temps from a couple of weeks ago. Those Pastrami on Rye toes! […]

Day 355: Flying Homewards…

Friday, December 13, 2013

At last our vacation was coming to a close.  A last goodbye to our digs! (All Nikon P7100…except a couple…) A quick trip through TSA was marred only by them not being able to read my delaminated and faded drivers license…we didn’t have to take our shoes off.  We were pre-approved!  Then a quick flight […]

Day 349: Cap’t Andy’s Sunset Dinner Cruise, Part 5

Thursday, December 5, 2013

Whew!  These Cap’t Andy posts always seem to need a lot of photos!  Well, I am not stopping now! Cap’t Rick, our Skipper on this voyage, was having his birthday cruise.  So his wife came along for the ride.  They spend two weeks every winter in Big Fork on Flathead Lake. (All Canon 7D) He […]

Day 339: 18 November, earlier in the evening, part 1

Wednesday, November 20, 2013

(These titles keep getting more complicated!) We attended the Smith Family Garden Luau.  It starts with a quick tour of their gardens and time to walk around and enjoy them in the setting sun. Cactus in Hawai’i?  More than you’d think, but this is outside of the gate. (All Nikn P7100, except the next one!) […]

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 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 323, 11 November, Part 1

Monday, November 11, 2013

We had a nice day here for a change.  There was wind and rain last night, and it looked grim this morning.  By lunchtime, though, it had started to clear and was very nice.  We did listen to a timeshare spiel this morning to pass the time while the clouds left, and made $100!  Then […]
