Nature

A place to discussion nature on Farcaster

We returned home to Oahu from our weekend on Kauai to news of an active eruption on the Big Island, with fountaining lava…

… so tempting to jump flights over there to see and photograph it, but trying to use this week to recover a bit from the traveling, and focus on my rehab.

It has been quite a while since we have seen ocean entry lava, though… if that happens while we are here, I may not be able to resist.

It kind of feels like Hawaii wants me to move back?

Oh, you’re here? How about some 50’ waves to photograph. An erupting volcano? Albatross buzzing the Kilauea Point lighthouse? What’s it going to take to get you to come home?

We haven’t seen the humpback whales just yet… don’t think I trust my new knee enough to go out on a boat this trip. 🤙🏼

Oh goodness it does sound like the island is calling you. Paradise at its finest.

We were on Kauai, and even though it was “green” for Sunday, I have been up there on other “green” days where it got called off at 6 or 7 AM, so we chased waves on Kauai and missed the Eddie this time.

I did, however, get to shoot the Eddie in January 2023, so that also made the decision to stay on Kauai a little easier. This is Mark Healy during his heat in 2023, as I recall.
