The view from our little rainforest cabin this morning ... and then this afternoon, when the rains came down. I spent some time today trying to draw/paint the view, which was ... challenging.
Then this morning we went to one of my favorite botanical gardens, just outside Hilo, which has extraordinary orchids.
and other plants ...
and then back to our inn/organic farm/small corner of paradise, where we walked down to the river past bamboo groves and palm trees with extraordinary varieties of lichen;
including lichen growing on Buddhas,
and the chance to see the waterfall that we can see from our cabin from very close up indeed.
No wonder this property manages to be off the grid, with self-sustaining hydro-electric power (as well as some solar panels, though I'm not all that sure when the sun shines).
Somewhere in the middle we had some excellent home grown, home roasted Hilo coffee.
Our last night, now, with frogs chirping away outside ...
