Hawaii - Waimea Canyon, Fern Grotto

Updated: 10-6-05

So it's taken me around a month to post more pictures from the trip. Am I sorry? Not really because this is my site. I've just been pretty busy working and catching up on some reading (theological and fictional) among other events going on in my life. Without further ado:

Waimea Canyon (the little Grand Canyon)












When we reached the summit (for lack of a better word) it literally looked like we were on a floating island in the sky.








(This is where a scene from Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark was filmed [at the beginning when Indy is running toward a plane from the natives after getting out of the cave])

Hawaii: Getting there, the Napali Coast

Updated: August 13th, 2005

I have finally decided to post some of my Hawai'i trip pictures for your enjoyment. The reason it's taken so long is partly because I am now using OS X (Apple) and partly because I have not had much time to do so with the wedding planning, Jennie going back to school in a month and my full and part-time jobs.

So, what I have decided to do is to update the site on a continuous basis until all of the pictures I want to upload are here for your viewing pleasure.

Jennie's grandmother


First morning on the island of Kaua'i and I awoke at 5am. Something told me to get my camera and head out to the beach. Boy, am I glad I did.

Waimea Canyon (the little grand canyon)


Jennie's father ... I think this one of the only pictures I have of him.





Spouting Horn is a natural blow hole on the Kaua'i coast

























Crystal clear water. The bottom is about 15-20 ft. from the surface.


This is a lava tube that was filled with magma when it cooled, then the cliff sheared off with a clean break.









More to come in a new post (splitting it up for all you dial-up users).

My New Computer

Well, I finally took the plunge and bought a 12" Apple PowerBook. She's a fast little beast and I love her ... er, I mean, it's cool. Praise God for allowing me to afford it = ) Pictures should follow when I get to it ... which may be next week since I have to work 7 days in a row, ugh (so far, it's sooo worth it).

The reason I got it now you ask? I'm going to Hawaii in June (12-27)! Thanks to Jennie's parents I only have to pay for airfare. So what does this have to do with me buying a computer? I need a place to dump the tons of photos I will be taking on the trip. A 512MB card may be big but it won't hold 2 weeks worth of incredible shots (thank you God for supplying the beautiful scenery). Anyway, there are other reasons which you can guess.
