Ohi'a lehua, the state tree of Hawaii, in shrub form at high elevation
Cliffs overlooking the ocean at final stop on the road up Waimea Canyon. To the right we saw a whale surfacing.
Fog would just blow in and out in unpredictable puffs and gusts at this altitude in Waimea Canyon.
Another foggy view of the Pacific on the North Shore.
An amazing hedge of bougainvillea was about a quarter of a mile long!
The Tunnel of Trees on the way to the South Shore is eucalyptus planted by a cattle rancher at the turn of the 20th century.
Walk to Visitors Center at the National Tropical Botanical Gardens.
Click on this photo to see the amazing colors in the tree trunk.
May be able to identify this shrub after our visit to McBryde Gardens today.
There were several gorgeous Hawaiian quilts at the Visitors Center. Brings back happy memories of my time quilting with the ladies at the Quaker Center in Honolulu, when I learned enough to make Hawaiian pineapple designs on pillows for our parents.
