The View from my Window
I recently moved teams at work. This is the priceless view from my new desk.

Imiloa Planetarium And Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

Like when BigB and I traveled from Seattle to Hawaii and found ourselves awake with the birds and a perfect opportunity to explore Liliuokalani park in Hilo without a soul in sight.
