Hawaii Big Island

Wherein Lyle and Yoshiko and Lyle's Parents spend a week on the Kona side of big island in a vacation rental.

Man made images over the lava rock from a long time ago. Volcano National Park.
Having dinner on the deck of the home we rented. This idyllic eating spot brought us back to our rental vacation house every late afternoon to start another feast.
Important native site. This protection house was where one could escape if they broke the kings law.
Took so many pictures of lava fields it was hard to pick one for the blog. I like how this one has that frozen mud look.
We stayed one night at Volcano Village near the National Park. A really different climate from the area of the vacation rental. This bed and breakfast that is a property with several cabins in a lovely garden.
This is one of many blowholes I explored near the ocean.

Walking the floor of the previous picture. Many of the cracks in the ground had steam venting from them.
Yoshiko in black on a black sand beach. Hawaiian goth.
No photo manipulation required. This sunset from the dinner deck was one most spectacular in my lifetime.
