Mary, frontline superstar at our Haleakalā National Park Summit District park stores, took a break and a walk to marvel at this newly blooming ‘āhinahina (Haleakalā silversword). 🌸🌺🌻🌼

Have any of you seen the other color varieties of our endemic ʻōhiʻa #lehua?
Yvonne Bauer, says:
Itʻs the ʻōhiʻa lehua bloom season!
I couldn't take my eyes off this beautiful deep orange ʻōhiʻa lehua tree on the rim of Kīlauea Caldera.

HPPA’s Dylan likes to take morning walks with his coffee before settling into the Creative Services office for the day. That means he is often lucky enough to get morning views like this over the summit of Kīlauea Volcano at our partner Hawai’i Volcanoes NP. 🌄

🌟 HPPA's Dylan is on a work trip to Maui & our park stores at #haleakalanps . He caught this bright, beautiful perspective from the Kalahaku Overlook 🌄.
Not shown? THE WIND! 💨 Conditions at the top of Maui can be anything at any time.

🌈 Can you spot the rainbow? In Hawaiʻi, like here at Kīpahulu on Maui, sea spray can decorate the shore with rainbows 🌊✨. HPPA’s Moana in Kīpahulu at #haleakalanps caught this delicate vision on a short walk from the visitor center 🌺.

Amanda at our Pu’uhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park store likes to help all visitors, large or small or furry. This visitor entered without paying at the park gate & was briefly apprehended…before being snuggled.
Fear not, this bebe has a foster & will soon have a furever home. 🐱 #TeamHPPA

If you stopped by our #kalokohonokohaunhp visitor center park store today, you might have met HPPA Executive Director Mel! She was graciously covering a shift so one of our frontline folks could attend a park gathering. We appreciate you, Mel! 👏🏼🌿

If you know HPPA’s Pete, you know that he’s passionate about the Kahuku Unit of our partner 🌋 Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, where he takes long walks and lots of photos. 📸
Like this one, which he calls The Colours of Kahuku.

HPPAer Wendy caught this molten, golden morning 🌄 from the summit of Haleakalā at our partner #Haleakalā NP.
She says: it was gorgeous & I'd never seen clouds in the crater quite like that before. I love how one of them looks like it's a detached peak on the rim.

HPPAer Ed sent in this incredible pic 📸✨ of the cannon Lopaka, used by Kamehameha I during his wars to unify the Hawaiian Islands. The park visitor center window perfectly reflects majestic Puʻukoholā Heiau on the hill above.
Ed calls this: Reflections.

HPPA's Kim loves Hawaiian flowers, and these Hawaiian poppies, pua kala, so tenacious and so bright out in a harsh, hot, rugged lava landscape caught her eye and she wanted to share that with you.

You might remember that HPPAer Pete loves to hike in the Kahuku District of our partner @hawaiivolcanoesnps on his time off.
He calls this photo: When daylight turns the trees to silver.

Dobby, did we wake ya up?
Behold sleepy Dobby, whose nēnē gosling plush ensures he'll fly into good dreams. HPPA park stores manager Wendy snapped this pic of these two, peacefully dreaming. (Maybe our big plush Hawaiian owl would be too scary?)

Have you visited our partner Pu‘uhonua o Hōnaunau NHP and taken the coastal trail there? 🌴🌊
HPPA's Amanda shares this photo & says: What a view from this lovely perch on the 1871 Trail. A great place to take a rest after ascending the Alahaka ramp.

Have you met Rose? If you have visited our partner the #NationalParkofAmericanSamoa, you may have picked up a park shirt or sticker at our corner of the VC & been able to chat with Rose. 🌊🌴
She joined HPPA not that long ago, so can we get a parks community welcome for her?
