FOTO MOKU - December 15, 2018 - Line of freshly planted coconuts on the new black sand beach at Pohoiki.  The eruption in Puna this year advanced to the very edge of this park, then stopped.  A grand beach of very new black sand quickly built up.

Was nice and empty the beach 🔥 I didn’t even tan as much as I wanted to lol. Oh well, for another day. Got pics of a guy surfing 🏄 #pohoiki #pohoikibeach #kalapana #blacksandbeach #bigisland #bigislandhawaii https://www.instagram.com/p/BxTiYztlTyL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1u97zyx3o4g6f

🌺🌋🌴 Quarantine Quickies #024🌺🌋🌴 Today was a pretty fast Thursday. The days til quarantine is lifted are getting shorter. Fingers are crossed, habits will be sticking. I am trying a new tool called Adobe Rush to see if I can edit a video that I want to show tomorrow. The guinea pig is today's Moment of Zen. This is the new black sand beach at Pohoiki on the Big Island. I love watching the water break into white foam on the black sand beach. Enjoy today and I will hopefully see you tomorrow! #onebreathphoto #underwaterphotography #volcano #pohoiki #isiaachale #bigisland #madeofocean #hawaii #hawaiilife #hawaiistagram #aloha #bigisland #naturelovers #natgeo #海 #自然 #nakedplanet #earthpix #fucovid #fucovid19 #pele (at Pohoiki, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_6o6lmgRmF/?igshid=6ruxiz2kzshj

🌺🌋🌴 Quarantine Quickies #022🌺🌋🌴 In Hawaii some of the quarantine rules are loosening up. There are more people out and about. People are starting to look around and assess the changes. What will be like it used to be? What is changed forever? What is changed for a little bit longer? Those are the questions we will be facing as we open up again. Hopefully we ramp up testing capacity so we can test everyone getting off or onto a plane so we can ensure that we are not importing or exporting anything but aloha. Here is a picture of Pohoiki after the lava quit flowing and the longshore currents rearranged the landscape. In the center you see Pohoiki boat ramp. Now Pohoiki Pond is probably a more accurate description. In the distance you can see the flow that obliterated so much land and emptied into the sea, where the waves and current deposited it to form new beach where the ramp used to be. This image is dedicated to the Kanahele family of the Big Island. They make amazing jewelry, and many of the men of this family serve to protect the public as EMTs, firemen, and lifeguards. Miss you guys and can't wait to see the ohana next year. #onebreathphoto #underwaterphotography #volcano #pohoiki #isiaachale #bigisland #madeofocean #hawaii #hawaiilife #hawaiistagram #aloha #bigisland #naturelovers #natgeo #海 #自然 #nakedplanet #earthpix #fucovid #fucovid19 #pele (at Pohoiki, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_1rnsYgq-b/?igshid=cxi5x3ka0ipg

🌺🌋🌴 Quarantine Quickies #020🌺🌋🌴 I got to thinking about how life now is so much different than just a month or two ago. The news talks about "the new normal" and how some things will henceforth be very different. In Hawaii, particularly on the island of Hawaii, this is the second time in as many years that life-changing interruptions have occurred. Starting in May 2018, lava errupted in Leilani Estates and the surrounding areas in a number of fissures. Some fissures were small, some were large. Some had minor effect, while some were devestating. You can see the lasting changes in Kapoho, Pohoiki, and Isaac Hale Park. The image I am sharing here reminds me of the abruptness of sudden change. Lives cut short, regular activities curtailed, changes of plans. This is a simple shot of the picnic area at Isaac Hale Beach park obliterated by the lava flow, but I think it's a good metaphor for what we're all going through right now. Hopefully we come out of this a little better off, a little more empathetic to our fellow humans, and a little more appreciative of the little things that make life so worthwhile. Dedicated to all our friends on the Big Island for the advanced lesson. #onebreathphoto #underwaterphotography #volcano #pohoiki #siaachale #madeofocean #hawaii #hawaiilife #hawaiistagram #aloha #bigisland #naturelovers #natgeo #海 #自然 #nakedplanet #earthpix #fucovid #fucovid19 #pele (at Isaac Hale Beach Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_vvU6fhOH-/?igshid=5thllmd9x5tr
