Day 5 on the Big Island of Hawaii and our last full day at the Fairmont Orchid the best hotel of my life!

I just can't rave enough about these breakfasts with the stunning views. A real event for us.

Little birds are all around us posing for photos.

After breakfast we took a grounds walk. I never gets old.

I take photos non-stop of plants that will look good in my black velvet paintings. I love these colors.

Exploring we found a path that took us to our car.

It was now late enough for lunch so we got in the car and drove this road 1 mile to the shopping center.

I love bamboo and this gate will someday be in a painting or on a mug.

Our last meal at Tommy Bahama's. We used three coupons for a total savings of $60!

We went into the market and found my new favorite fruit. Dragon Fruit, pretty inside and out.

The next day we leave for 5 days in Hilo. It's been 12 years since we have been on this island so we will again be looking for changes since our last trip.

The Big Island Trip 2005.
