When you get a chance to forest bathe in Waimea Valley, you'll be able to see some of the most Monsterra you can ever come across. The texture and design of these plants make for stunningly beautiful backdrops and give you just a small sense of wonder as you're walking through.

Once we got to the top of the Half Dome, I quickly found this spot and asked my wife to go to the edge of the cliff and pose there. I got a confident NO and had to switch roles. That rare case when I’m a model and my wife is a photographer. It played pretty well.
