Aerial view of our beach we snorkeled at almost every day.

Kilauea Volcano

The tour of Volcano National Park was one of the highlights of our stay on the big island.  The glow of an active volcano was an amazing site to experience.

Punalu'u Black Sand Beach

Not the best swimming beach, but it sure was beautiful.

There are some interesting trees in Hawaii... Here's one.

Paradise

The uncrowded and calm beach at our condo complex has been an unexpected surprise. We are reluctant to go anywhere else. We saw dozens and dozens of different species of fish and a sea turtle while snorkeling today.

Drove up to an elevation of 5000 feet to the cloud forest. This is a Lehua blossom on a 'Ohi'a Tree.

Out to dinner tonight with Mom. No better place to eat than the Snow Goose on a sunny Alaskan evening.

What started out as a rainy day in Anchorage turned beautiful at the face of Knik Glacier.
