Hawaii 2003

Kauai Hyatt Regency

Golf with Jim and Jane Dunham at Kauai Marriott

The colors of Waimea Canyon (Kauai)

Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel on the Kohala Coast 20 miles north of Kona on the Big Island (Hawaii)

Extraordinary rainbow south of the town of Hawi (it was really good 30 seconds before I got the car stopped and snapped this picture)

Waipio Valley (northeast coast)

At the Hawaiian Tropical Gardens just north of Hilo. This is the "Orange Christmas"

Sylvia took lots of pictures of spectacular flowers. By the way, this tropical garden is much better than the "World Botanical Gardens" in Umauma.

Akaka Falls on the windward coast

Modest Philodendron at Akaka Falls...

...and around the corner is a bamboo grove (Akaka Falls ).

Kilauea current eruption caldera (from the helicopter).

Recent lava (the black stuff) which covers the "Chain of Craters" road.

Molten lava flowing into the ocean through buried lava tubes. We could see the red lava...but it doesn't show up in this (heavily compressed) picture. For some really great lava pictures, check out:
