Rock Covered With Seaweed

Poipu Beach, Kauai, Hawaii

As I went for my morning walk I noticed some rocks that were covered with seaweed.  The waves were coming and going as they moved the seaweed.  This photo is deceiving because the rocks are about 2-4 inches high.  There is an island, just out from Poipu Beach and you can see it in the distance.  It is very small, sometimes there are Monk Seals on it or at other times people are out on it.  I have been out to it many times, but the ocean was too rough today to go out.

Waterlily by the Pool

Poipu, Kauai, Hawaii

There were beautiful flowers around the pool and because I had a broken rib, I wasn’t able to really swim, so I did what I love to do, I took photos!

Waipoo Falls

Waimea Canyon, Kauai, Hawaii

Waipoo Waterfall was just as majestic as ever!  Flowing thru a canyon that is referred to as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, Waipoo Falls thrills all who see it!

Waimea Canyon

Waimea, Kauai, Hawaii

I was so surprised when I found out that one of my cousin’s was on Oahu, (she lives in New Zealand so I don’t get to see her very often) and even more surprised when she and her husband came to Kauai for a day.  We took them everywhere we could in a day.  At the top of Waimea Canyon you never know what the view will be like.  Most of the time we just look out at clouds.  This day, for them, the clouds were minimal and allowed us to look down at the ocean and see the beautiful Nã Pali Coast from above.  It was awesome!

Rainy Nã Pali Coast

Haena Beach, Kauai, Hawaii

It was drizzly as we got out to Haena Beach which is on the north shore of Kauai.  As you walk out on the beach and look back you can see the Nã Pali Coast, it is pretty even with rain!

Waterfalls

Hanalei, Kauai, Hawaii

Each time we drive to Haena we drive thru the beautiful town of Hanalei. There is a lovely beach there and breath taking mountains with gorgeous waterfalls, particularly after rain. This day there were many waterfalls, because of all the rain we have had. Someone said, ‘it looks like the waterfall is coming out of the sky’. There are three waterfalls in this photo, can you see them?

Wai’oli Hui’ia Church

Hanalei, Kauai, Hawaii

Each time we drive to Haena we drive thru the quaint town of Hanalei. There we see waterfalls on the mountains and gorgeous beaches.  There is a beautiful church there that we pass each time and I have for years wanted to stop and take a photo of it.  But, it seems we are always rushing to get back to PiuPu before it gets too dark. This day was the same, so I took this photo from the car.  Waiʻoli Huiʻia Church was built in 1912 by the descendants of the first missionaries to Kauaʻi, Abner and Lucy Wilcox, who arrived in 1836 from Boston, Massachusetts.

Hawaiian Green Turtle

Poipu, Kauai, Hawaii

Lots of people were out walking along the beach.  They were being very careful to stay away from the turtle sleeping on the beach.

Raining

Koloa, Kauai, Hawaii

Well, when it rains in Hawaii, it really rains!  We could hardly see out the windshield as we drove along.  The wipers helped for a second, HA! HA!  The wettest spot on earth is in the middle of Kauai, thus all the rain.  The nice thing is that it isn’t a cold rain but a warm one!

Flower and Reflection

Poipu, Kauai, Hawaii

As I was walking along I saw this flower that had fallen to the ground.  I thought it looked cool with the reflection in the water.  So, I put my GoPro down and took this photo.

Night on the Beach

Kapaa, Kauai, Hawaii

We went to Kapaa and ate at Sam’s Ocean View. We had a beautiful view of the ocean, but it didn’t last long as the sun went down, so this photo was taken in the dark and I was able to work with it to bring out everything. Did you know that a dark photo can be worked with so whatever is in the photo can be brought out?  It can and this is an example of that!

Berries

Lihue, Hawaii

There are such beautiful flowers and plants all over Hawaii.  I loved these berries that hang down from a very interesting tree.  I don’t know what they are, if you do, please let me know!  THANKS!

Thru The Palms

Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii

They say that Hawaii is PARADISE and as I went for my walk this morning, I believed it!

State Bird of Hawaii

Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii

The Nene is the State Bird of Hawaii and it is a type of goose.  They are hard to find, but there is an area in Lihue where you see a lot of them.  This one possed for me.

Hibiscus and Palm

Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii

As I was playing with my new toy, a GoPro camera, I took this photo with it on a selfie stick and said, ‘GoPro take a photo’ and it did.  WOW, it turned out quite good!

Hibiscus

Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii

We had a down pour and then the sun came out and I took photos of these beautiful Hibiscus with rain drops on them!  I love Hibiscus, they are so elegant.
