Day 43

Friday, February 14, 2014

A little relief after all the snow and cold: high surf near Kapaa, Kaua’i. (1/500s f/8.0 ISO160 28mm -1/2 stop Canon 7D) ~Curtis in Hawai’i last November! {!-{>

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 356

Friday, December 13, 2013

We got to spend two days running around Seattle and Tacoma with the Dailylife Daughter #2, culminating in a really nice meal in a converted firehouse. (All P7100) Then it was back on the road and home again, ending this year’s Hawaiian Adventure. Now we return to your regularly scheduled Blog! ~Curtis, home again in […]

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 354: Our last full day on Kaua’i…

Sunday, December 8, 2013

We were hoping to see some whales.  The Mellon Head Whales (a type of dolphin) I almost got a photo of on the Dinner Cruise don’t count.  The Spinner Dolphins I saw from the Lighthouse don’t count because, well, they are dolphins.  And the photos didn’t turn out. It is a >>long<< ways down to […]

Day 353: Our last full day on Kaua’i…

Sunday, December 8, 2013

After lunch we went back to the KÄ«lauea Point National Wildlife Refuge.  We do like it there! (Canon 7D) It is a great place to watch birds! I think they think they are Eagles.  I have photos from a couple years ago of Eagles fighting in the air like that. Then the ship we took last […]

Day 352: Our last full day on Kaua’i…

Sunday, December 8, 2013

We went to Wailua Falls next, just a few miles outside of Lihue.  The weather was getting nicer, and it was a narrow, winding road. (Nikon Coolpix P7100) Wailua Falls. A five photo panorama! Local flora. * My last phot of the falls.  Note the rainbow on the right side of the pool. I took […]

Day 351: Our last full day on Kaua’i…

Sunday, December 8, 2013

We decided to visit some waterfalls on our last day.  The first was Opaeka‘a Falls.  We visited there briefly last year on our cruise. (Canon 7D) Around this area there were a could of white-tailed tropic birds flying. * It is that little white speck… About this time my camera started acting up. The exposure compensation […]

Day 350: Cap’t Andy’s Sunset Dinner Cruise, Part 6!

Thursday, December 5, 2013

The Evening Star is up there if you click on the photo. (All Canon 7D) The Chef smoozes with the passengers. Port Allen. The Dailylife Wife is still on the bridge.  Pretty much the best view. Watching the Port come closer. There is that Evening Star again! *** *** The line to the Tip Jar! […]
