Ko Olina Lagoons, Hawaii

I sat down and put my feet up & RELAXED as a Common Myna Bird strutted by. You see Myna Birds all over Hawaii, they are pretty, but aggressive and bossy with other birds!

I went for my morning walk, it was beautiful! Upon my return I decided to RELAX and ENJOY the cool breeze and watch others as they floated by or played in the ocean!

When we flew to Kauai last year I was looking out the window and I saw the lagoons of Ko Olina. We are here, now, celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary and some of our family will be joining us over the next week or so!

A Full Rainbow

Kauai, Hawaii – 2011 – Canon G9

One day we decided to go for a ride, I was with my dad and step-mother, so we drove to Lihue via the country back roads.   Upon returning to Poipu I could see cars all over as we came down a slight hill.  We were surrounded by trees so I couldn’t see what was happening but then, we came out of the trees and to my delight there was a full rainbow.  We pulled over and I put my wide angel lens on my camera and I took this beautiful photo and just in time because it started raining!

Feet with Rooster

After a walk along the beach, I sat down to RELAX and watch the surfers as they glided across the waves.  All of a sudden I heard ‘cock-a-doodle-doo’, I looked behind me to see this beautiful Rooster.  I quickly turned around to get a photo of him with my feet, as he walked away!

The Beautiful Tabernacle

The TABERNACLE was built between 1864 and 1867.  It has a seating capacity of 8,000.  It was built as a gathering place for the Saints.  It is a beautiful, inspiring building!  It’s acoustics are amazing! Notice the marble column on the right of this photo, it is actually a wooden column that was painted to look like marble.

It was a wonderful day, touring Temple Square with my cousin, Raewyn and her husband, Mike, who were visiting from New Zealand!  The TABERNACLE was awe inspiring as we thought of the early Mormon saints who built it!  It’s acoustics are awesome!
