Adventures in hawaii

Hawaii was is beautiful and other-worldly that I did not want to leave. These pictures were taken at various locations during my week long stay.

Kilauea

is surrounded by beautiful rainforests. There are also steam vents everywhere. The plant life grows under extreme conditions.

Red Grass

This red grass especially looked stunning in the early morning light.

Timeless Space Creation

It was quite interesting to see plants in various stages of life. Hawaii does not experience seasons the way the rest of the states do. Hawaii, or the Big Island, has different microclimates throughout the island and everywhere we went, the plant life was different.

Danger and beauty

The week after we got back, Kilauea erupted. I almost wish we went to Hilo a week later to see it. However, I think my family would have panicked if I was there when it erupted.

It looked like a dream. I understand why many Hawaiians have trouble adjusting to life on the mainland.
