Hot! In Fairy Tale

A fairly unknown part of Hawaii. You can walk the whole trail and not see a soul and yet discover your own ;-). The silence is erie and grabs at you. At the end of the trail you are standing at the edge of one side of a valley with water falls cascading down the opposite side to the floor 800 feet below.

Everyone here is too kind. I just noticed that big ugly dust bunny that needs to be removed. I will fix it but don't want to lose my yeahs.

In the story Hilo, Hawai'i.

    It is so easy to get lost in the swirling motion of the tree limb and the foggy, muted color.
