I promised you photos, so here are photos. I had a really hard time choosing just a few to share with you because I took so many, and of a really wide variety of things.
I have never been anywhere that had such an abundance of varied life…
… and yet, simultaneously such a dearth of it!
We saw semi-overgrown lava fields…
… and a volcano crater!
Isn’t this an awesome tree!?
We took a 3 mile hike, in the midday sun, along the coast to reach this green-sand beach. The ‘green’ sand wasn’t too impressive but the whole setting was definitely worth the walk.
We also went to a lua’u and had traditionally-cooked kalua pig – yummy!
I took so many more pictures than this and they’ll be cropping up in future posts because quite a few of them are directly inspiring various collections.
Have you been to Hawai’i? Did you find it as inspiring as me? Would you love to go? Let me know
