Every year the geese seem to come back just a little too early. There were very few, if any, open water areas yet when we first saw them in late March.

Another rocky shoreline with crashing waves. This will be the last post from our Hawaii trip, as I’ve finally come to the end of the photos that I took while we were there. I hope everyone has enjoyed them. It only took me three and a half months to get through them all, not bad?

This is a nice scenic spot on the north side of the big island of Hawaii. If you have a 4×4 you can drive down. We were pressed for time on that, our last day on the island, so we just enjoyed the view from the top.

Sunset through blinds

The Hawaiian sunset as seen through some roller blinds. I thought this made an interesting perspective and wanted to see if it would work as a photograph. Was able to get a nice starburst effect on the sun thanks to the blinds and small aperture.

Inside the famous Thurston Lava Tube in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Tough to get a photo in here, check out the ISO setting! Still lots of grainy noise in the shot, but far superior to my previous camera.
