Hawai'i
In February, 2014 I traveled to Hawai'i for 2 weeks and 4 days. I arrived to the Kona International airport on The Big Island and could not help but immediately start exploring! It was 12 days of amazing discovery, not only of natural wonders but also of the rich history of Hawai'i and her people. I also did as much as I could with what little time I had. From swimming with Manta Rays to politely asking Dolphins to do tricks for me. From driving the 11/19/190 circuit around The Big Island to flying over Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park!
During this time I photographed as much of the Natural wonders as I possibly could. But my time in the most tropical of all States was not over and I was soon on a very short flight to Honolulu on an ATR 42-500 turboprop aircraft, my very first Island Hopping adventure! I spent 4 days exploring the beautiful island of Oahu but not before paying my respects to the heroes we lost at Pearl Harbor! What an incredible memorial with so much history and information readily available to visitors. I even managed to get a photo with a living WW2 hero and survivor who just happened to be visiting at the same time!
At any rate this is the first time I am sharing these photos, obviously only the ones my fellow naturalists would like to see. I hope you enjoy seeing as much as I enjoyed taking them!!
