The Big Island of Hawaii

Ruby and I have enjoyed getting to see and experience more of the Big Island than we ever have.  We've been in Hawaii for about 2 1/2 months, most of the time spent on the Big Island, Hilo side. We both love the sun, the warmth, and the beaches.  It rains a lot on the Hilo side, but the island is small enough that within a couple hours we can be on the other side of the island in sun, or other types of weather!  We've been to South Point, the southern most tip of the island and the U.S.  Yesterday we made it to Hawi, in the North and hiked down to a beautiful black sand beach.  And last night I finally saw the Lava! How COOL that was!!  Beautiful bright orange and red, thick, crusty and 2000 degrees. I poked it with a stick and stared at it in awe, admiring its brilliance.  Next time I'll take marshmallows and maybe hotdogs and roast them.
Hawaii is an amazing place, especially the Big Island, with its variety of  climates and landscapes and natural wonders.
I took Ruby to Rainbow Falls, a popular site in Hilo.  She happened to be wearing her  rainbow dress.  Next to the Falls is a giant Banyan tree in the jungle. As Ruby played around the tree, she resembled a Rainbow Fairy!

I don't know if anyone is reading this, as there are no "followers".
I am so greatful for all that we have, and the adventures that we have enjoyed and for the ones about to come.  We are continually blessed by Life, People, Angels and The Creator.  In small ways and big ways we are blessed and so thankful for the life we are living.
