Volcano eruption

 

Hawaii's Kilauea volcano began erupting on Wednesday morning with a burst of lava spewing from within Halema'uma'u crater at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. 

Officials raised the warning level for the volcano, but are also highlighting a number of safe locations for the thousands who are expected to flock to the area to take in the magnificent view. 

Kilauea volcano shot up fountain bursts about 200 feet high during the early phase of the eruption Wednesday, with the largest lava fountain consistently coming in at about 50 feet high, according to the US Geological Survey.

 

There is no indication that populated areas are threatened, authorities said. 

Kitchen Window

I just saw a tiny triumph to start the day.

From the vantage point of my kitchen window, I observe the comings and goings of our little neighborhood. The little princess, as I call her, was walking the dog with her Dad.

 

They had devised a new way, she crawled inside her Dad's t-shirt.So that her back was to his front, her head was under his chin. It required them to walk in unison, which they did. So clever. Their little white puff dog, (which I haven't named yet) seemed to think it was odd? As they got home and were ready to go in, the little fuzzy guy wasn't ready to go in. So they waited. I liked that, and they got to be as one a bit longer. Then the Mom came out, ready to leave, so there were goodbyes.

Princess came out of Dad's cocoon and walked Mom out to her car.

 

Then Dad asked Princess something, and she nodded yes. Then, Princess had a piggy-back ride on Dad. Cute family.

* The above was written 3 years ago and I still catch a glimpse now and then. Princess is now almost taller than her Dad or Mom. I'm guessing that she is finishing 7th grade and busier. I have 3 short stories in the Kitchen Window file.
