For this New Year's Eve Eve Friday, a few views from this week's visit to the Big Island of Hawaii, beginning with Hilo's Rainbow Falls.
Wishing all a Happy New Year!
And as seen by a local artist:
It was also a White Christmas as snow capped the volanic peaks of both Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa (which just a month ago was spewing hot lava):
This model shows the positioning of The Big Island's volcanoes including the dormant Mauna Kea as pictured in the above two volcano photos. The two lower volcano photos picture the snow capped active Mauna Loa as it looms above Hilo
Added views include a mushroom cloud that loomed over Hilo, a GEICO spokesgeko, and the duplicate King Kamehameha Statue that was fished out of the ocean and erected on the North Shore of The Big Island:
Some Selected Photographed Views from this New Year's Day
Now that we have made our lofty New Year's Resolutions, may I preface this posting with some salient advice from the instructor who offered it to us this New Year's morning.
First, he advised, to write down the resolutions, noting that a resolizon not written down was merely a wish.
Secondly, it was suggested to break each resolution down into smaller manageable goals as we attempt to accomplish them.
Then there was the referenced need to incorporate consistency and persistence. It was also offered that we include in our resolutions this year one to be kinder to others.
