All of these photos were taken on the property we rented above Kona, Hawaii. There were lots of photo ops to be sure, but these represent a few that I thought I'd share here. I was delighted the owners did such a spectacular job of landscaping. About a third of the 5 acres was planted with coffee (see the second shot). The rest was landscaped with lovely tropical plants and wonderful trees. I could have stayed forever.
Absolutely beautiful compositions, Vicki!

Beautiful set Vicki. Our favorite island. Gail’s cousin has a house above Waikoloa. We stayed at the Kona Village many times in the past.
Thanks, Mark. We’ve been to to all of the islands but prefer Hawaii and Kauai. Hawaii seems to be less crowded, and the beaches are superb. Waikoloa certainly didn’t disappoint although we found Hapuna to be less crowded. We visited twice and made sure we were there late enough for a sunset swim. There also seems to be more to do with lots of island to explore without fighting hours of traffic. It also wasn’t as hot or humid as on prior trips. I think I could live there quite happily.

Lovely work Vicki.....lucky you. 
Thanks for the visit, Blair. We’re lucky to live close enough to the islands where getting there is relatively easy especially since the larger islands have direct flights.

Very nice set Vicki, I really like your eye for texture, patterns, colors, sense of drama and your ability to simplify the image to make a dramatic point. The presence and location of that spark of reflected light in #3 turns it from a very nice image to a great one. Good job, good show, luv your stuff!
Many thanks for the thoughtful reply, Reid’s. I appreciate the time you’ve taken for this post.
