Windows of Paradise...

So I promised some pictures from our trip to Maui... so here they are.
Okay so this isn't Hawaii...

This was how our house looked the day before we left for Maui.

...and here is the green lush island of Maui. Notice there is no snow in this picture! Thank God!

Rachel, Cameo, Micah and I in all of our 'whiteness' early in the week.

This was a cool church made out of lava rock in 1832 that they still have services in every Sunday.

This is a neat flower shot with a wedding chapel in the background right on the beach.

The inside peak of the wedding chapel with sunlight flooding through. I liked the symmetry of the wood in this picture.

A waterfall pouring out of the lush rainforest that the road to Hana goes through.... it was a very beautiful drive.

My brother Micah wading in a serene pool along the road to Hana.

Micah swimming in the serene pool. Notice the old bridge of the narrow road above.

Rachel, Hannah and I in front of a beautiful waterfall on the road to Hana. Leah was asleep in the car.

This picture is one of my favorites of Hannah's hand and foot on the black sand beach in Hana. Hannah and Hana. Funny!

I love the contrast in this shot. This little plant was only about two inches tall, right on the beach.

Picture taken at sand level on the black sand beach at Hana looking toward the rain forest.

Another beautiful waterfall.

Us hiking through the lava flow to a great snorkeling spot known only as 'Fishbowl'.

Again, the contrasts in colors were amazing... too bad my camera couldn't fully capture the vividness.
