Wow...We're finally here!! I'm sitting here in my little volcano tree house with a cozy fire (where we are it drops 40 degrees at night!) and I can hardly believe it. My house is surrounded by tree ferns and Ohia trees. The ferns are about 15 feet tall and the ohia trees tower above our cozy dwelling. Every morning we enjoy the sound of the native birds singing in the trees as they drink from the Ohia blossoms. I have been pleased to find what I call "monkey tail" ferns (false stag horn ferns) growing all around us! Just a short drive away are the lava fields and a sparse environment I have named "the bush". I am shocked at the variety of flora on this one island. Needless to say, there's so much to be inspired by! I have completed a new painting since Ive been here too! The Hawaiian goose called the Nene, which is endangered and neared extinction, but thanks to conservation efforts, its population is growing. For a peak into the magic, heres some pictures!
