Back in the Day - Henry Kapono & Friends

A fantastic concert at the Waikiki Shell benefiting 

the Make-A-Wish Foundation. We had VIP seats in the 3rd row.  

A hot and humid day but definitely worth the sweat!  

These were just a few of the entertainers who performed.

Ewa Orchid Show, Ewa Beach, HI

So many beautiful orchids at this show.  

We learned that we need to fertilize our plants more often for blooms.

Sonoma Valley, California, Vineyards

A fun vacation to Sonoma Valley, visiting friends and 

seeing all the vineyards and wineries.

Big Island of Hawaii Kilauea Caldera, Halema'uma'u Crater

Kilauea has been erupting for 30 years.

Halema'uma'u Crater lava lake (active since 2008) spilled over its rim.  Most recently part of the crater wall collapsed and fell into the lava lake.  This caused an explosion when damp rock hit the molten surface of the lake.
