Wow.  My poor little blog has been neglected for a whole week!  I went to Hawaii for a little R&R with every intention of blogging amazing tropical pictures.  But, when we arrived I realized I had the wrong cord for my point and shoot, so I couldn’t download anything.  Which ends up being all the same because I came to the conclusion that I’m terrible with that tiny little thing.
Give me a 5 pound camera with a whopping lens and I’m right at home, but it seemed like I could never aim correctly, get the timing right or figure out what buttons did what.
Oh well, I guess you can’t screw up a landscape like this…

We stayed on the north shore of Oahu, where all the famous surfing spots are.  A swell came in on Friday and this is what it looked like at Pipeline.  Which honestly doesn’t look like much in a photo, but the waves were 15 feet high and when Brent told me to be ready to grab our stuff and run, I knew they were serious waves!

We went back to Pipeline yesterday morning and this is how flat it was…

You’re probably thinking to yourself that wow, I must be a surfer as well a photographer, but (my friends are snickering right now) I am pretty much as far from a surfer as you get.
I only know all the cool lingo from Brent, who had this in our hotel room. 🙂

I tried to get a picture of him surfing, but between my horrible point and shoot camera skills and the fact I was so far away, this was the best I could do.

And even though there are no surfing pictures of me, I did manage to do a little self-portrait on the sand.
