Film

Final photo credit: Tim Miller (?)

We recently got a roll of film developed that had some shots from our honeymoon. Photos we took along the Kalaulau trail on Kauai and photos of one another after hiking the two miles to Kanakapiai Beach. I love all the sun spots.

Before poppies we had tulips, briefly.

I love this one of Jeffery and me at his birthday BBQ in Golden Gate Park. I love how film is more of a time capsule and you get to be surprised by it (especially when it takes six months to use up a roll). I should really shoot with more film.

Kauai, Where We Stayed

We stayed in a guesthouse just outside the town of Kilauea on the North Shore. (

's a link.) When we arrived, they had champagne and chocolates chilling in the fridge. It was so much larger than it looks in photographs, with 20 foot vaulted ceilings and a wrap-around lanai.

I love how the mountains change throughout the day.

It was perfect.

Kauai, Day Three

We were headed towards Waimea Canyon on our third day, but we heard on the radio that there was no visibility due to cloud cover. It was beautiful on the north shore so we decided to stay and give Hanalei a proper visit.

We set up the tripod and captured this one with my dad's pentax:

We decided to hike two miles in (four miles round trip) on the Kalalau Trail.

Same shot taken with the pentax:

The trail was steep and rocky in some places and muddy in others. And the sun bore down strong. We hiked down to the beach and cooled our feet in the water. We lunched on peanut butter sandwiches, almonds and bananas. There were wild kitties scavenging for scraps. The waves were pretty gnarly, but there were still some die hard surfers who hiked their boards in. We hiked back out and cooled off in the protected lagoon at the start of the trail. Then we went back to our guesthouse for cheerios and a beer before a round of mini golf at the botanical garden on our last night on Kauai.

Kauai, Day Two

After all that rain, we went in search for waterfalls. We found a few.

We were driving down the coast and the ocean water was brown from all the sediment that came down from the mountains. The next day it was blue and clear again.

That night we were craving burgers, so we ate at Bubba's.

Lettuce and tomato: "not recommended"

It was good.

Kauai, Day One

We stayed just outside Kilauea at a guest house about three miles up from the main road. It was huge, with high ceilings and a wrap around lanai providing mountain and ocean views, the best of both worlds.

By the time we were settled it was after three and we spent the afternoon exploring Kauai's postcard perfect beaches.

The sky was becoming more and more dynamic as the sun went down and we wanted to make it to the end of the road to hike a bit of the Kalalau trail before it got dark.

It was so beautiful. Jeffery snapped this photo of me with my dad's old Pentax.

It was getting dark and we were getting hungry, so we hiked back out and went to dinner at Postcards Cafe, which was lovely.

When we got home the wind started to howl like nothing I have ever heard and there was thunder and lightening for 15 hours. We were safe and warm inside and there was no where else in the world I would have rather been.
