Enjoying the scenery

Amidst our days of ministry on the island we do have time to enjoy the beauty of God's creation.

The above picture is Diamond Head – a volcanic crater, now a state monument. Jeremy hiked the crater and took the following pictures. You can see Honolulu and Waikiki Beach and the get a glimpse of the gorgeous ocean that surrounds Oahu.








Diamond Head was used as a military artillary station from 1906 to 1976. You can see the observation points cut out in the sides of the crater.



The followinng pictures are taken of Hanauma Bay – a large preservation bay ideal for snorkeling - which both Jeremy and I were able to enjoy. Hawaii is a beautiful place – above and below the ocean surface!

Ron and I went to Hawaii a few years back and snorkeled on a beach posted "Beware of Sharks!" Made it interesting! Saw some of the most beautiful fish there! Glad you can be there and enjoy it! We went to Moloki to the leper colony also - that was a different kind of visit!

Thanks, Andrea! I have checked out your blog through Jeanie's and enjoyed "catching up" on your life. We are staying in Ewa Beach with friends. Rather warm in Ewa, huh?!

Sherry, I'm not so sure I would have snorkeled with shark signs present! I check those things out first!! Heard about Moloki but haven't been able to see it yet. Thanks for the note!
