A moment from the journey

In the Kauaʻi album from 2009, the camera followed us from the layered cliffs of Waimea Canyon to the coast. There are pictures of one of my sons taking in a canyon view, water surging through volcanic rock, and the sun slipping under clouds at the beach. It was a trip with plenty of family time, but these five frames leave the landscape room to tell its own story.
