Waimea Pier

Waimea, Kauai, Hawai’i

As the sun was setting over the Pacific Ocean, I loved the light it shed on Waimea Pier!!

Camera used: Canon 50D

Wait

Poipu, Kauai, Hawai’i

There are different stages of a sunset, so I take some photos, then wait, take more photos and wait, take more photos, wait and in the end I have many beautiful sunset photos.  Patience is important when it comes to nature photography.

Camera used:  Canon 50D

Looking at Me

Poipu, Kauai, Hawaii

It was so fun watching these two Monk Seals play together.  As they rolled into the ocean, one looked at me, so cute!

Camera used:  Canon G16

Thru the Trees

Poipu, Kauai, Hawai’i

I like to take photographs of sunsets thru the trees or generally with something else in the photo.  Silhouettes with the colors of the sunset coming thru are beautiful!

Camera used:  Canon 50D

 

Gorgeous

I LOVE SUNSETS!  This was gorgeous as the sun set over the Pacific Ocean.

Two Playing

Poipu, Kauai, Hawaii

There was a Monk Seal asleep on the beach, (the one on the right) and pretty soon another one came out of the ocean, (the one on the left) and he tried hard to wake the other one and play with him. He kept touching him, pushing him & poking him. Finally, the one on the right woke-up and the one on the left went off to sleep or at least he pretended to be asleep. It was fun to watch them interact!

Camera used:  Canon G16

Palm Trees

Lihue, Hawaii

I love watching palm trees as they wave in the soft ocean breeze!  I saw these on my walk this morning.

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!

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.

Photo was taken with my Canon G16 camera.

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.

Swaying in the Wind

Poipu, Kauai, Hawaii

I enjoy watching Palm Trees as they sway in the wind, they are so tall and regal!

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.
