Palms

I went on a long walk and loved looking at the Palm Trees blowing in the wind.

Coconut

Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii

As I walked around the swimming pool I noticed this cute little coconut laying on the ground.  With my GoPro I was able to get this fun photo of it.

Hibiscus and Palm

Poipu, Kauai, Hawaii

Hibiscus are pretty flowers, even with rain drops on them after a rain storm and with a  gray sky!

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

Thru The Palms

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

Ocean View

Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico

The ocean view at the Ancient Site of Tulum is awesome!  Tulum is the site of a Pre-Columbian Maya walled city serving as a major port for Coba. The ruins are situated along the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula on the Caribbean Sea.  It is a very beautiful and impressive area!

Piña Colada

Xcaret, Mexico

We walked around Xcaret, an awesome park, and then we were tired so, it was time to put my feet up and RELAX and this was the perfect way to do that!  On the beach with a Piña Colada (virgin) in hand!

Xcaret, Mexico

While at Xcaret, we went to a horse show.  It was amazing!  This cowboy was awesome with his lasso!
