Last photos of the Big Island

Rainbow Falls in Hilo.  In the morning, sun hits the mist and creates rainbows. We were too late!

Incredible growth on trees - hard to believe the host can support its own weight plus so many other plants!

So many beautiful ocean scenes, this one at the end of the Onomea trail near Hilo

Sunrise on 'our' stretch of beach.  The low cliffs there are black lava from old volcanic flows.  NO swimming!

  Mauna Kea, a huge volcano, from the airplane.  You might be able to spot the telescope observatories at the top, home to the largest or second largest telescope in the world.

Nene geese, Hawaii's official state bird.
