I know it's been quite awhile since I last posted. Things have been extremely busy. The trip to Hawaii, working late and catching up with the Cheer Booster treasury have taken up valuable blogging time. However, tonight that's changing. I think I'm finally ready to post a few Hawaii pictures. They are going to be out of order as the visit to the volcano park was on the last portion of our trip. But these are the shots I’ve been working on in Photoshop Elements.
During the 4 years we lived in Hawaii we were never able to see an actual volcano eruption. Fortunately for us, while we were on vacation this year there was a rather large eruption taking place at Kilauea. After much cajoling I was able to convince Mitch to take a hike out to the viewing spot to watch the lava flow into the ocean. We had to stop at the hardware store to purchase flashlights since it would be pitch black and a short walk on the lava to return to the car. It was absolutely amazing to see the power of the steam and heat as the 2400 degree lava flowed into the ocean.
The photo above is truly amazing to me. Walking out along the lava you notice that it has killed everything in its path. However, there are places where the ferns are starting to poke up through all that rock. Hard to believe this is what the earth may have looked like millions of years ago.
