Cattle Egert

As we walked along I saw a couple Cattle Egert’s, which you see all over Kauai.  This one waited for me to take it’s photo, so I did, then it flew away.  I think they are beautiful birds, they have an elegance about them!

Watching Surfers

After walking for a long time, I sat and RELAXED as I watched surfers try to catch the perfect wave.

Beautiful Waves

We went for a walk this afternoon and I found many places to RELAX and ENJOY the view!  Here I ENJOYED watching the waves break against the lava rock.

Breakfast

Poipu, Kauai, Hawaii

We ended up getting to a much earlier church meeting than planned, so we didn’t eat until after.  Tom’s a great cook, so he made brunch, this yummy Spinach, Mushroom Omelet with Cantaloupe.  It was delish!

Bananas

Just outside our room are banana trees, they look so yummy and we are tempted to pick them!

Rooster

It was a beautiful morning, as I RELAXED on our Lanai, just as a rooster past by.

Tiki

Poipu, Kauai, Hawaii

The pools at Poipu are the perfect place to RELAX and ENJOY LIFE, so, I put my feet up and looked out at the Palm Trees and the TIKI & I RELAXED!!

Poipu Beach, Kauai, Hawaii

I LOVE walking along the beach and coming across a Hawaiian Monk Seal, they are so gorgeous and fun to watch. This one sat up and posed just for me! LOVE IT!

 

Fresh Water Pond

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, Hawaii

Palm Trees are beautiful as they sway in the wind.  Here they are at a fresh water pond with Mauna Kea, a volcano, in the background rising above the clouds.

Golden Trumpets

Kona, Hawaii, Hawaii

We took a ride around Kona, it is much greener than the area we are staying.  It was a fun and a rewarding drive because we saw so many beautiful things.  The flowers in Hawaii are gorgeous and they are everywhere!  I love these Golden Trumpets in amongst the greenery!

Water Slide

For those who know me, they know I DON’T like slides…WELL, that isn’t completely true, I don’t like going down slides, other than that, I LOVE slides, that is why we have one in our house for our grandchildren. But, going down slides has never been something I enjoy. So, I got this crazy idea to take a photo of my feet, while I am going down a water slide! It took me a while to build up the courage to do it, but WOW, I’m so glad I did…and the water slide, it really wasn’t that bad!

Watching Lots of Things

It was fun just RELAXING while a lot was going on around me, can you see; people boating, people canoeing, a man stand-up paddle boarding, a lady walking along the beach, someone snorkeling, some people riding bikes on the ocean (yes, it is true and pretty cool) people just having fun in the ocean and my favorite, a man paragliding. I had been watching him for a while and got this photo of him in the air.

Petroglyphs

These petroglyphs are estimated to be between 200 and 1000 years old and are the remnants of Hawaii’s past and are a major concentration of ancient rock carvings in the Hawaiian Islands. It was a very hot day, but a perfect place to put my feet up and RELAX! I actually had hiking shoes on, but wanted to take this photo (even though the ground was very hot) to show off my new nail polish!

Fresh Water Ponds

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, Hawaii

Near where we stayed there are fresh water ponds with lots of fish in them and these ponds empty into the ocean.  It was a very peaceful, lovely place to pass as we walked to the beach.

Cook Pines

Kone, Hawaii, Hawaii

The first time I went to Hawaii, I was surprised to see Pine Trees there.  I have always called these beautiful trees Hawaiian Pine Trees, because they are so tall & stunning and such a part of Hawaii, but their correct name is Cook Pines.  They are so regal as they reach heavenward!   I love the touch of the red trumpet vine in this photo.

My Kinda Gate

We took a drive around Kona and came across this beautiful gate, well this is my kinda gate!

The Sun At Sunset

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, Hawaii

We were driving to meet up with our son and his family and we saw this beautiful sunset, so my husband pulled off the road so I could take this photograph. It’s a good thing, because by the time we met up with our family the sun had already passed below the horizon!
