This afternoon we made the trek up Mauna Kea to enjoy the snow and beauty. Hadn't been up the mountain in the snow for several years. Perfect weather-- no wind and warm in the sun.
Snow-covered pu'u near the sumit.

Inside Keck 1 looking up at the underside of the mirrors.

Wish we'd had snowboards or skis!
Looking from the summit toward the Hamakua coast.
The snow has formed interesting shapes as it has melted.
Pu'u from the top. What a great way to end a lovely weekend!

It never ceases to amaze me....Snow in Hawaii!
Well, you do have snow. You just don't have to deal with it 5 times a week. You get to eat strawberries instead.
No. I'm not jealous.
D.
i had no idea that you get snow in hawaii... and have to wear coats sometime! i guess you learn something new everyday.
the pictures of the snow together with the ocean are beautiful.
Snow there is so different from snow here. Todd and I were remembering last Christmas when we went skiing the day before we flew home and then went to the beach. But, I would like to come home now please. Thank you.
I'm sad I missed out on all the snow. It looked like fun!
I also didn't know that you could have snow in Hawaii! How fun!
