Vicki, these are lovely. You probably didn’t know what to shoot first. The lighting in these is excellent and the bits of water drops add to the tropical feel.
There were certainly lots of subjects to shoot. I kind of hiked the property on a couple of different occasions when the light was good. Having a little rain during the night helped, too. I really wanted to get some shots of a mongoose I spotted in the yard a few times, but I wasn’t quick enough or didn’t have a camera when I saw it.
Thanks for taking time to look and comment, Carol.

Beautiful set, glad you enjoyed the vacation.
Thanks for taking time for this post, Jim. We had a fabulous time including zip lining, snorkeling with dolphins and a night snorkeling trip to observe Manta Rays. I think the kids will have some great memories.

Great set my friend, #3 is simply stunning! 
I’m so pleased you enjoyed these, Sylvia. If you and Bob ever plan to go to Hawaii, let me know and I’ll give you ideas about where to go and what to do. We’ve been to all of the habitable islands and have some favorites.
BTW I’ve been watching the remake of “All Creatures Great and Small” and picture you driving through the British countryside and those quaint villages. Love the charm of the area.

Kona coffee is the best. The stuff on the main land is adulterated. Get it in Hawaii before you come home.
Good recommendation. Last time we were there, we toured a coffee plantation and came home with quite a few bags of exceptional blends. Let’s just say it’s true that you get what you pay for. It was quite expensive compared to what we get here but the flavor made up for the difference in cost.
