Below are a couple of images from this evening. They were taken from the webcam placed on the edge of the crater of Pu`u O`o. From Mauna Kea's summit today the plume from Kilauea's summit was very obvious (above) yet I couldn't see any plume from Pu`u O`o which is an active crater a few miles east-south-east of Kilauea's summit. It might explain why the webcam images are so clear right now because usually all you see is the thick plume.

The Kilauea summit (Halema`uma`u) has a lava lake as well, again from a webcam on the crater's edge:
