| 2/1/09 Every year, between December and April, the whales take a vacation in Hawaii. They're no dummies! They actually come to breed and bear children. Everybody here gets really |
| We also have some pretty good scenery. Above right, you can see the rainbow that is visible in a couple of the whale photos. Left, the moon above some wispy clouds. To the right, Robin taking pictures of the moon & the clouds with the rainbow in the background. If you look really close, you might be able to see a whale - or maybe not. Hawaii: all of this, all at the same time, just sitting in one spot... |

| feet pretty good and since then had bought some new hiking boots that would hopefully give me better support. Pretty much every day I would see the plume at Waikupanaha and the word was there was another entry just past it at Kupapa'u with surface flows. The county wouldn't let me hike out from my end so I thought I'd go around by the Volcanoes National Park and come in that way. Unfortunately, this would be a hike of roughly 8 miles each way - a tough hike over the lava. I didn't expect that I'd even make it since I hadn't been hiking at all lately and I didn't know what kind of shape I was in or how well the boots would work out. As it turned out, I made it about 2.5 miles when I decided to turn back. My feet were starting to hurt and I'd forgotten just how tough hiking on the lava was! I'll try again later until I make it. One option is to hike right through to the other side and have somebody pick me up and bring me back to my car. That'd be a hike of about 10 miles without the return trip... |
