My buttocks. I burned them.

Public service announcement: Always sunblock your butt when snorkeling.

We have returned from a magical, warm, fantastic, relaxing, chicken-filled week in Hawai’i.

We saw lava flowing from a volcano, five miles away:

Five hours after we left, they closed this trail down due to an earthquake swarm. A few days later, magma oozed out of a new place on the volcano, while the flow pictured above began to dissipate. Pele loves me.

The next day, I went snorkeling, which adventure prompted the PSA above. I have dropped off the underwater cameras at the photo lab, and hope to have fish photos for you soon.

Two views from the terrace of our hotel on Kauai,

where I managed to get some knitting done.

Spent a lovely afternoon at the beach,

where I saw a net fisherman

and a nudist.

There were high points,

(High! Pointy!)

and low points,

(Low! Pointy!)

and pointy plants,

but I loved them all.

I even loved the ubiquitous chickens.

And I was very sad to leave.

Full set of photos here.
