a promise of avocados to come to the table
the Avocado Tree House is adjacent to a beautiful, large avocado tree
As you can imagine, we took advantage of the avocado tree’s bounty during our stay. For example, a salad of mixed greens with avocado, starfruit and tomatoes was on the dinner menu every evening.
The taller portion of the house comprises the bedroom and, above it, a room with a view towards the Pacific Ocean (you can see it in this post). We just spent a few days in this lovely place, in the Puna district of the Big Island of Hawai’i. (More on the trip, including our food adventures, in a future post.)
This is my submission to week #24 edition of Black and White Wednesday – A Culinary Photography Event created by Susan of The Well-Seasoned Cook. Savoring the weekly gallery is highly recommended: it’s a very special mid-week treat.
The photos were shot in color and then converted to sepia.
This post contains the gallery of photos submitted to the event.
So cool! Terrific photos. Ooh, avocado and starfruit??
Wishing you a very happy new year Simona!

Buon anno Simona!
Ma dai!!! Baol anche qui?! Grande!!! ^______________^
Simona ma l’albero diventa così grande??? 0.O

Buon Anno e Tante Buone Cose da Mangiare! ^^
Ho appena messo a germogliare un seme di avocado!
Non vedo l ora di avere il mio albero!!!!!
Thanks bery much for this post Simona. When I was a boy we lived on a sugar cane plantation named Pepeekeo on the Big Island, a few miles north of Hilo on the Hamakua Coast. We had an even bigger (at least in my memory) avocado tree in our front yard, but sadly that was before I learned to love avocados — just a shame. Speaking of avocados, I just returned from a trip to Chile where I found the Chileans must lead the world in both production and per capita consumption of avocados – truely a cusines after my own heart. All the best for the new year. A presto.
Great photo of the avocado house and tree! I love the sepia effect you used. Happy New Year!
Thanks, Lori Lynn and Happy New Year to you!
Grazie Baol, anche a te.
Ciao Mony. Ci sono diverse qualita’ di avocado e non so bene quanto gli alberi di ciascuna crescano. Questo e’ anche un albero che non si trova in un frutteto e credo sia stato lasciato crescere come voleva. E’ un albero davvero bello e confortante.
Ciao Luby. Che bello! Dove abito io il clima non e’ adatto e quindi per me rimarra’ un sogno. Ti auguro un bel successo col tuo albero.
Ciao Mike. We drove twice along the Hamakua Coast this year and liked it a lot, in particular the winding old highway: what an amazing combination of plants! I did not realize Chileans are big consumers of avocados. Best wishes to you and your family as well.
Thanks Lynne. Happy New Year to you!
Happy New Year Simona.
Thanks for posting this. Would you believe that I’ve never seen an avocado tree before! We don’t eat avocados as often as we should and this is something I should change this year. Look forward to seeing some of your recipes using avocados.
Ciao Ivy. I am glad I showed you something interesting and new. Avocados are quite versatile and indeed, they are healthy, so yours is a good resolution.
Mai visto uno… bellissima la foto in B&W e che spettacolo anche le foto from Hawaii 🙂
Grazie, Terry.
