HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM BIG ISLAND HAWAII!

Here are some photos from my first 6 weeks on the Big Island.

Compared to how much there is to see of Hawai'i, not to mention Maui and Kauai (both of whom I plan to visit before I return down under), I've seen very little so far.

Adventure is calling, and I will share new images as they are experienced.

EXTENDING A HUGE 'MAHALO' AND SENSE OF GRATITUDE TO MOTHER PELE AND ALL THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHO ARE MAKING MY VISIT HERE SO LOVELY :)
