The seed pods on this plant were rattling in the wind. I almost forgot there are no snakes in Hawai'i. |
Like I said, a lot like the Southwest. |
Pronounced "Why-AH-lay-AH-lay." Averages 400+ inches of rain a year. In 1992, thanks to Hurricane Iniki, it was over 700 inches. |
Thalassa! Thalassa! LOL |
Niihau, "The Forbidden Isle." Edited to correct pronunciation of Mount Wai'Ale'Ale. |

Gorgeous views!!! We had the VOG in and canyon visibility was down to only 200-yards. Since itwas opaque and smelled smokey too, we did a boat trip around the NaPali cliffs, and snorkeled off Niihau - the channel through there is real bumpy!
It's pretty spectacular. If I were 30 years younger I'd be hankering to come back and backpack the canyon and kayak the Na Pali Coast. No way I'm up to hiking this terrain, or paddling a kayak under these conditions any more.
