| This is the little church where we have been enjoying services. |
I never get tired of the beautiful and fragrant flowers that are so plentiful here.
 |
| We had a visitor wash up on the beach. After a short visit he went back out in the water. |
 |
| We experienced a full moon last week and was able to catch it as it was setting in the early morning hours. The next picture shows the sunrise on the same clouds which occurred about 10 minutes later. |
 |
| We took a drive to the south end of the island to see the volcano. Along the way to took a short detour to see the most Southern tip of the United States. |
 |
| There were several wooden platforms with a line attached to a buoy out in the water. I assume they were for launching a boat from this point. |
 |
| Wind generators as it was very windy the day we visited. |
 |
| I assume these were satellite tracking dishes. They did change directions while we were there. |
 |
| Steam rising from the Kilauea Caldera, the most active vent. |
 |
| I am so impressed with the little "point-and-shoot" camera I purchased last summer for our trip to Italy . This picture was taken of some hikers on the floor of the volcano, approximately 700 feet away. The next picture, taken from the same location using the built-in zoom actually shows the people resting on the ground. Excellent quality for a little pocket "point-and-shoot" camera. |
 |
| The lava flow from the most recent flow actually terminated the loop road around the volcano. This is the area where it still flows into the water but you must either use a boat, helicopter or walk about 8 miles on the volcano to see anything. |
 |
| Finally dinner at a local restaurant after a long day. |
 |
| Sunset from our condo. |
