The point in the distance is Kealakekua Bay, the original landing spot for Captain Cook. He was killed off the point and there is a large monument that marks the area. It is only accessible by boat or down a very rough 4-wheel drive road, if you know someone who has a key to unlock the gate. The bay itself is a beautiful spot to snorkel and kayak. Kona is on the other side of the point, which is roughly an hour north from where I live.
The 1 mile stretch from the highway to my driveway is definitely not for the faint of heart!
Macadamia Nuts from my neighbor's tree.
Lilikoi's (aka Passion Fruit) and some kind of wood flower that starts off as a nut and then flowers like a rose. It looks like someone carved a flower out of bark. Vines love our area. We have so many types of invasive species of vines it is hard to keep track of them all.
My neighbor's wild banana trees.
What foreclosure looks like in my neighborhood.
The sunset greeting me in my driveway.
Beautiful rainclouds that brought a very welcome surprise of rain!
My budding garden was very happy it rained!
I hope you enjoyed my trip home. Commuting an hour each way can be exhausting, but at least the drive is beautiful.
