I seem to be giving my camera a workout this week. Here are some photos from a walk around Lake Eola in Orlando, FL from Dec 7.

I've been trying to get over to the Big Island with my camera ever since the lava started flowing again. This week I made it and was rewarded with good weather, a great tour boat operator and an incredible show courtesy of my favorite Volcano Goddess.

Thanks, Pelé!
