Back to a beach - Waialea Beach

Each beach in Hawaii seems to have it's own defining character.

This one, at Kona, called the Waialea beach, is a beach with a unique and pretty tree cover.....almost to the waters edge. Not the regular beach side tall conifers, but sprawling trees providing a lovely shade right by the water.

In Pics:

As we entered, Bablu and Deech with floaters and chairs and stuff

The stretch of beach with full tree cover

The ocean from where I'd settled

Diksha near the rocks, and Bablu far into the waters

The sparrows on the beach were such a nice surprise

Look at the roots of those trees.....

The blue of the ocean is so stunning....it's a typical island phenomena (any island) as islands are in essence rock and there's no soil to alter color.

Breakfast after....this is my 'Egg Benedict', so yumm....and so pretty

The three of us at breakfast....just us, as this was before rest of the family had arrived at Hawai'i

Kona is at a diametric other end of the island, full stretch of island....a less than two hour drive from home. And this is by far the biggest of the Hawaii'an islands, imagine.

The way there is through what's called the 'saddle road'...one that goes all the way across the island in between the two major volcanoes of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, a long and narrow and winding road.....touching one end of ocean to the other, going through such altitude that you hear your ears pop. An experience in itself...... will do another post for just that road :)
