Wonder what the Kelley family does at night?





My 5 year old son took these pictures. Got talent? Well, his Mom thinks so.

Day 5 of our Hawaiian Vacation

To all of you photographers out there you will not believe what I did today. I wanted to get some close up shots of Iain in the pool. I attached my 85mm 1.2 lens to my 5D body. Stepped into the pool and took a few shots. Then to my great surprise the lens dropped off the camera body into the pool. Yes, it was fully submerged. I am now in the business office of the hotel to FedEx it to the Cannon factory service center in Irvine. I think the lens is a goner. Anyone with a similar experience?

Probably no pictures for the rest of the trip. They charged a lot here for internet service.

See ya when I get home!

Day 4 of our Hawaiian Vacation

We packed up our 6 bags and flew to Honolulu. It was a short flight, about 30 minutes. We are in such a different environment now then we were in Kona. It is much more metropolitan and fast paced. No pictures today since my camera was buried deep into my carry on luggage.

Day 3 of our Hawiian Vacation

We took a car trip to see the Kilauea Caldera, an active volcano crater, steam vents, a lava tube that you can hike in and the rain forest.

Rain forest back drop...gorgeous.

Iain took this shoot. Not bad for a 5 year old.

I took this because telephone booths were everywhere. In California you NEVER see telephone booths anymore.

Visiting Hawai'i Volcano

Ok, I expected to see red rock spitting out from the center and something that looked like gray taffy flowing to the ocean. What we saw was steam and smoke. There are times when the visitors do see what I just described but today wasn't it. But it was a natures phenomenon to be standing this close to an active volcano.

Can you see the faint rainbow. It was raining and windy.




What is a Lava Tube?
