Hilo was rainy the whole time we were there but I still loved it.  Not too many photos were taken due to this fact but this view from our hotel was not too shabby.

a private beach in south kona made us realize just how perfect a day could be.  the water was a little chilly but so crystal blue that it seemed inviting beyond the cold.

a light drizzle

 

lately it's been raining a lot.  kauai had severe flooding so much so that it was quoted at 10-21 inches just in the past few days... so this light drizzle of a picture is nothing, except to remind me that sunny days are just as beautiful as the rainy ones.

foam

Savor culinary delights with these mags.

watching the foam wrap around my legs seemed somewhat intoxicating on this particular day.  the water here is the biggest therapy you could ask for.  today it was a little too rough to swim but pretty delightful to splash around in.

sunset on the north shore

 

this guy was the perfect timing for this shot... freshly salty and reflecting on the days session.  i couldn't help but snap his photo but pretend i was starring at the sunset..

bananas and coconuts.  straight off the tree.  what could be better?  have you ever had fresh coconut?  it's like scraping the bottom of an ice cream carton peeling away thin fleshy strips of coco-meat.  and the flavor is subtle but sweet and oh-so refreshing!

it's the little moments

 

seasonal depression does exist.  but not here in hawaii.  not here in this spectacular moment, with the wind blowing, the smell of the ocean, and natural beauty like this random rock formation at lai'e point.  the beauty of oahu makes me so humble. 

untraditional

an untraditional rainbow on the day of my grandmother's funeral.  she was something special cause this doesn't happen just any day, even though magically things happen on Kaua'i.

nuts for coconuts

 

On a trip up to the north shore last week we stopped to get a coconut at a fruit stand and can i just say, ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby!!!  it was slightly sweet and refreshing.  just like the north shore after being confined to the city.  :)
