November 2016: Island Life


Some words to explain eight days on the island of Hawai'i:

Dried sharp black lava everywhere
Low to mid 80s, slight breeze, warm rain
Two lane highways, roundabouts, tight parking lots, few bikes or buses
Colorful birds, hanging hibiscus, green jungle plants, no snakes
Invasive species like mongoose, wild pigs, coqui frogs, albizia trees
Fun fruits, fresh fish, over-priced organics
 Black & brown sand beaches, some nudists, sea turtles
Active volcanos, 13K ft. mountains, big waves
 Many Asian cultures, haole (white people), locals

And some sights:

Some amazing photos of the food, flora and fauna. I liked the few that were of Steph and Chris too. I enjoyed seeing some familiar places - lava tube and lava, lava, lava...how about those fish with yellow stripes???

My favorite photo, those fish!! My god, I've never seen anything so brilliant.

I love these pictures! Especially the one where you are pretending to smoke. Your sense of humor reminds me of a few fave photographers...Gary Winogrand and Elliot Erwitt.
