Island life..................

So much to see and enjoy here on Hawaii, known as The Big Island. 

Sharing some of the amazing places I've seen since arriving.

Best ever fresh papaya with lime juice for breakfast.........

...........while sitting here and enjoying the ocean.

Later, spending the days sightseeing around the island...

........famous for its huge fields of black lava stretching as far as the eye can see.

Tropical rainforest plants.

Waterfall at Akaka Falls State Park.

View across to the town of Kona from the house where we're staying. 

 Snow in Hawaii!  

This morning our our drive to Volcanoes National Park 
we noticed it had snowed on top of Mauna Loa 
during the night.  
Whoever knew it snowed in tropical Hawaii!

 Mt. Kilauea Caldera - the most active and most dangerous volcano in the USA.

 The lava flows down to the ocean - beautiful coastal scenery.

More next time............a few more days here before flying to Mauai.
