Definitely one of the highlights of our Hawaii trip was snorkeling with the Manta Rays in Kona. These rays near shoer can get up to 15 feet across and 3000 pounds. They are filter feeders and have no stinger so are harmless. Definitely a bucket list experience.

Mauna Loa Milky Way - Maybe my favorite Milky Way photo that I have taken. Taken on Mauna Loa on the Big Island, Hawaii. It was easily visible to the naked eye which made lining it up easier. I lined it up with this old cinder cone from a previous eruption.
