Spreading Across the Pacific Ocean

Ko Olina, Oahu, Hawaii

It had rained early in the morning and as I went for my walk I was greeted by this beautiful rainbow spreading across the Pacific Ocean.  Just like with our lives, the storms come and then the rainbows cross our paths.

Canopy of Trees

Koloa, Kauai, Hawai’i

I love this tree tunnel near Poipu, on the island on Kauai. On our way to and from Poipu we drive thru this Tree Tunnel. Some days it is raining, other days you can see the blue sky thru the trees. It is a fun place and I love taking photos when there is little traffic. This Tree Tunnel has rows of Eucalyptus Trees that were planted about 150 years ago by sugar king Walter McBryde. LOVE IT!

So Hawaiian

Hanapepe, Kauai, Hawai’i

As we walked along the street in Hanapepe, I loved this scene with a bike, it seemed so Hawai’i with the Hawaiian shirts in the window, a palm tree and the outside plants.  Hanapepe is a charming, sleepy town that comes to life on Friday nights with food booths and lots of shopping.

Hanapepe Swinging Bridge

Hanapepe, Kauai, Hawai’i

When we were on Kauai last year, my sister and her husband found this awesome, quaint swinging bridge in Hanapepe.  It is a foot bridge that crosses over the Hanapepe River and links the old town of Hanapepe to the Hanapepe Valley.  It was originally built in the 1900’s as the only way for locals to cross the river.  In 1992, it was badly damaged by Hurricane Iniki and has since been restored and reinforced. It is used today by farmers and locals who need to cross the river, as well as, curious tourists.

Seaweed, Rocks and Ocean

Poipu, Kauai, Hawaii

I love the contrast of these rocks, that are covered with seaweed, and the ocean behind.  If you look closely you can see surfers out in the waves.
