| These little yellow birds are all around the Waikoloa area. |
 |
| Nice surf board....no surfer!! |
 |
| My first whale sighting of the season. |
 |
| Not a great whale picture but I was excited to see them from the shore. |
 |
| This boat would have had a great view. |
 |
| Walking to Makalawena Beach. |
 |
| We chose this area because it isn't as busy on the weekends as some beaches that have easier access. |
 |
| Kim looks happy to be here!! |
 |
| Not too crowded....on a Saturday afternoon. |
 |
| A few surfers here, too. |
 |
| My toes couldn't compete with Kim's "pedicured" tootsies!! |
 |
| We ate our sack lunches and then it was time to hit the water! |
 |
| At first Kim looked like she was going to do battle with the waves....her fighting stance didn't slow them down at all. |
 |
| I rather think they had a good time in the water!! |
 |
| This nice guy on shore offered to take some pictures of all of us. |
 |
| Kim had the "hold your nose" down really well. |
 |
| Looks like Doug....the only one with a mustache. |
 |
| I finally got out my underwater camera and took some "action" shots. |
 |
| Love that face, Kim!! |
 |
| Walking back...the sun was getting low. |
 |
| Makalawena is the third of three beaches accessed by a pretty rough road and then a bit of a walk. This was back at the second beach...on our way to the car....gorgeous sunset. |
 |
| There's some great palm trees here....one is especially good for climbing. |
 |
| Trying to get just the right angle for the picture.....not quite right here. |
 |
| There....that's better...now it looks like he climbed a palm tree, for real. |
 |
| Gotta love the sunsets!! These beaches are really close to the airport....notice the airplane coming in to land. |
 |
| Here is another good one. |
 |
| Amazing SUN!! |
 |
| On the way home we stopped by the Waikoloa Queens Shops to watch and listen to the group, Kohala. Charles (far left) plays in this acoustical guitar group. |
