The roads and landscaping here were put in about the middle of the last decade for a neighborhood, called “The Hamlet”, that was never built. Roads are paved and home sites plotted for the entire neighborhood. It’s like a ghost town without the buildings. To their credit, the building company has kept the landscaping up, and recently has begun building again at the far edge. Maybe in several more years it will be a fully built and occupied neighborhood? Nikon D800, Tokina 100mm, f/18, 1/250 sec, ISO 200, EV -2.0.

Hanalei Bay is on the North side of Kauai, Hawaii, and one of my favorite places I’ve visited. So beautiful, and such a wonderful, laid back atmosphere. This shot was taken in the late afternoon in November 2008. Nikon D80, Nikkor 35mm at f/8, 1/250 sec, ISO 125.

Sunset over “Bali Hai” on the Hawaiian island of Kauai in November 2008. Kauai, especially the north of the island near Hanalei, is *unusually* beautiful. In fact, on my personal list of most beautiful places I’ve been, I’d rate Kauai number two.
Nikon D80, Nikkor 18-135mm at 18mm, f/9, 1/125 sec, ISO 125.

This tree was magnificent against the blue sky, but there was a "porta-potty" right in front of it! Arlene suggested getting underneath for a shot sans outhouse.
Was back at
Lower Rouge River trail last Weekend. Saturday the township organized a unique little art festival. There were artists selling and demonstrating techniques for Raku pottery, as well as chainsaw carving. Talk about a niche! It was *very* small — two food vendors, and 5 artists, I think… four of them chainsaw artists. Some pretty amazing creations, though.

There was also a Home Depot tent set up where Julianna and Josh built little tool boxes, which they used to carry around their favorite leaves that they found during the day.

After getting lunch from the
Tim and Sally’s booth, we walked through the forest for about 20 minutes before heading back to the truck.

A great day to be out in the park, though. Sections of the forest were just starting to hit their peak color. Came back Sunday morning for a few shots with better light — but that’s another post!
Here’s Julianna, Joshua, and Arlene showing off their favorite leaves back at the trailhead.

For a differnet kind of chainsaw pumpking carving, see the link below. I do miss Fremont!
