The Word of the day is "Wailele"


Aloha mai kākou,

Nature is the idea, behind our Hawaiian word of the day, which is “Wailele”.  Wailele (pronounced why-leh-leh) literally means ‘leaping waters’ or waterfall.  During the rainy season (it probably rains in Hilo, about 75% of the year….SERIOUSLY….but who’s complaining? He he he) its guaranteed you can find a waterfall flowing at maximum capacity.  Hawai’i island has its share of the most stunning waterfalls such as Akaka Falls, Hi’ilawe and one that I happen to drive by called Rainbow Falls.  Rainbows tend to appear, across the bottom during the misty mornings. I haven’t been lucky enough to see the rainbows, personally.  However, I did manage to photograph it after a huge rain!  Enjoy the photos and don’t forget to visit these natural phenomena when you come to the islands.

A hui hou,

Haunani
