Tidepool Fun

Aaah, playing in the tidepools here are just as exciting than hanging out at the beach, especially when they are just the right size for kids to play in.


 

Splashing, holding ones breath for the longest time or even fishin' for small bait fish is part of the fun in these tiny pools.

I wonder if we can find anything interesting below the surface, maybe some starfish or crabs?

DId you Know I Sing?

Outside of blogging, one of my favorite activities is singing with the Puna Men's Chorus and last weekend was our singing retreat down in Kapoho, a beautiful sunny area close to the ocean.

It was a good time to also take some great shots in our formal outfits and lei's. Here's a photo of our fearless music director - Amazing Amy!

Aaaah, yes time to just relax and have a nice potluck by the pool!

Taking the day to practise, practise and more practise along with some team building, picture taking and doing some voice training. It was a fun day and seemed to just buzz by so quickly.

 

Its time to eat again....yeah there's always time for munchies and breaks.

One of these, day's I'll post a you tube of our current line up of country tunes we will be performing around the island.

By the way we are performing May 1st at the Volcano Art Center for Lei Day and down in Kalani later in the evening. Stay tuned for announcements.

A Solitary Moment by the Ocean

I love taking long walks along the shoreline at Hawaiian Paradise Park, the vistas are amaing in the morning and the jagged lava rocks have such amazing patterns and convoluted shapes.

Today's view to the ocean and the stormy clouds were just amazing to view, i'm glad I brought my camera today so i can share this with you.

This is my submission for Scenic Sunday. see others at http://scenicsunday.blogspot.com/

Three Miles of Ocean Front Property for Sale.

Guess what, for just a mere forty million dollars you can be the owner of three miles of ocean front property with a very rare green sand beach and well over 2,100 acres of raw tropical land. This area is untouched by any development and has been largely intact for many decades.

This area really feels like Jurassic Park with old trees, jungles, coconut fringed beaches and ocean inslets that are rarely seen by the public.

The estate is privately owned by an Oahu family that rarely visits and originally had plans to build a mega resort here on the East side of Hawaii until family plans made them change course.





 

There are no structures but a small picnic overhang with stellar views of a beautiful inslet with green sand, one of only two places in Hawaii Island to have a green sand beach.

So now you can be the owners of this beautiful and pristine land a real piece of paradise....any takers?

Living on the Edge of a Live Volcano

Ever wonder what it would be like to live on the edge of a live volcano where unpredictable eruptions and lava can overtake whole subdivisions at a whim?   Amazingly people do choose to live on the fringe here in Hawaii, with no electric, no water and sewer systems, everything is done off grid and water is collected from the roof or trucked in.

As you can see lots are plentiful and cheap here, all boasting ocean views...and wonderful volcano views at night!

That trail of clouds actually is a trail of lava and steam coming down from the hillsides to the ocean.

Large tracts of once forested and beautiful lands are now scorched. But amazingly, new plants and trees actually sprout from pure rock and rubble - its nature at its best!

This home looks like its engulfed in lava, where actually it was sited between large areas of lava that probably had a flat lava lake where the home now sits.  Creating paradise from this land is quite an endeavor.


This is my contribution to skywatch from the edge of Hawaii, to view others go visit http://skyley.blogspot.com/

Sunset on the Red Road

Last night, the skies were ablaze with  magic all over the red road.  Before the sunset, vivid hues of lavender, dusty pinks and indigo blues painted the skies with pastel colors.

The immediate foreground of flora was a perfect foil in silohuette against these magnificent skies.

Strange rocks looming over like gaurdian tiki god over looking the ocean waves crashing just added to the exotic vibe of the sunsets.
