Fresh Water Ponds

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, Hawaii

Near where we stayed there are fresh water ponds with lots of fish in them and these ponds empty into the ocean. It was a very peaceful, lovely place to pass as we walked to the beach.

The first time I went to Hawaii, I was surprised to see Pine Trees there. I have always called these beautiful trees Hawaiian Pine Trees, because they are so tall & stunning and such a part of Hawaii, but their correct name is Cook Pines. They are so regal as they reach heavenward! I love the touch of the red trumpet vine in this photo.

My Kinda Gate

Kona, Hawaii, Hawaii

We took a drive around Kona and came across this beautiful gate, well this is my kinda gate!

The Sun At Sunset

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, Hawaii

We were driving to meet up with our son and his family and we saw this beautiful sunset, so my husband pulled off the road so I could take this photograph. It’s a good thing, because by the time we met up with our family the sun had already passed below the horizon!
