My Sister Leane's Visit
Leane's pictures
| Robin getting ready to fly |
| This is at our mailboxes |
| Don't see this every day |
| I like this door. Notice the Exit sign, then check out the little white sign on the left door. |
| Weather rock |
Miscellaneous shots
| To fill out the page, I thought I'd stick in some miscellaneous photos that don't fit with any of the excursions we've been on. |
| Leane e-mailed me some of the pictures she took, at my request. Here they are... |
| I'm not sure where this is but it looks like the coast near our house |
| Here's the seismograph plot of the 10/15 earthquake at Jagger Museum at Kilauea |
| Halema'uma'u Crater |
| Purty flars You find these things everywhere |
| A couple of nice sunset shots taken at Hookena Beach on the western (leeward) side of the island. |
| This is a pretty little cove on the coast just north of Hilo |
| Hamakua Coast at Waipio Bay Waipio Valley is just to the left |
| Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dumb! |
| Sistah Leane at Waipio Bay |
| Just inland from where the previous 3 pictures were taken we found this graveyard. All the headstones were written in Japanese or something like that. |
| Picture taken from Waipio Beach of where the previous pictures were taken |
| This is toward the back of Waipio Valley |
| All the hotels in Hilo are in one place, a beautifully landscaped park. At the hotels there's this one restaurant called Uncle Willy's. This is the hula show they had on the night we were there. |
| This is another part of the hula show at Uncle Willy's. The hula dancers are on the right, off the stage, teaching 4 or 5 "volunteers" from the audience how to do the hula. Leane is on the far left. To her right is a guy who was quite drunk (he's mostly a blur) who had more enthusiasm than skill who we were afraid was going to knock Leane right off the stage. |
| Robin at Thanksgiving talking to her brother on the cell phone |
| A picture of the lava at the Kaimu Chain of Craters road (see previous page) |
| This is a nice panoramic shot of some of the house being built on the lava flow. If you're looking for the definition of an optimist... |
| This is a shot of a house that was apparently missed by the lava flow. It is surrounded on all sides by lava. |
| The Hawaiian Sovereignty flag - the Hawaiian flag flown upside down - the flag for the independent Hawaii movement. |
| This handsome young visionary was Leane's guide for her Hawaiian visit. (The future looks so bright I got to wear shades) |
| Robin noticed this lava cave hidden in the brush. It didn't go very deep but it was a cool little shelter. |
| This is the back of the house where Leane stayed. |
| And this is our house. |
| Mauna Kea |
| This is Al. He's one of our two cats. Or maybe two of our three cats. He's big, weighs something like 16 lbs. He has long thick soft "bunny" fur. He hangs out with me all the time - to the point of being a pain. Robin calls me "the cat god" because Al seems to worship me. My Dad gave me a bumper sticker that said, "God help me to be the person my cat thinks I am". |
| No, he's not an intellectual. But there's something about books that makes him want to sit on them! |
