A Start

So, I woke up yesterday, looked outside, and said, "WHAT? SNOW? I knew we were to get a little dusting, but really, this?"

Then I started going through our photos from Maui some more and the snow really began to look prettier as I looked at the beaches, sunsets, etc. from our trip to the island.

Following are some sample photos of our time there:

These first ones are just some examples of "classic" island flavor
(Remember to click on individual photos to see the whole shot!)

Maui is known as the "Valley Island" because it has so many amazing valleys and vistas. Here are some shots of our trip up the "Road to Hana" It's basically a rain forest road curving around the mountain and overlooking the coastline on the other side of Maui from where we stayed.
The Road was winding and sometimes went to one lane on curves and bridges. I drove so I wouldn't get as carsick. It was nice part of the time and it misted part of the time. It is a rain forest after all!

Some of the road itself...

Some of the Vistas...

Into parts of the rainforests...

Where we ate our picnic lunch...

Of course there are LOTS of gorgeous waterfalls...

We went down a single lane road to a spot where there was a black sand beach, and lava rocks, and some blow holes...and this cool archway in the lava rocks...

Watching him walk out there was scarier than the actual shot

He likes pockets. Have you noticed?

These are a few of the shots of the sunset we caught on our way back from the Road to Hana...

When I saw this I thought, "This could turn into a beautiful sunset..."

And it did!!...

The island across from Maui looks like it's on fire or erupting!

Goodnight Sun...

 Next posting I'll have some of the whale shots we got and some underwater fish photos as well!
We were fortunate to go to such a beautiful place and we appreciated even more how God has created amazing beauty all over this world!
