Ocean

Coconut

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

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

Over the Pacific Ocean

Waimea, Kauai, Hawai’i

My husband, Craig, pulled off so I could get this photo of the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean.  It was so peaceful and beautiful, just me and a few other people enjoying an evening on the beach.

Bird House

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.

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!

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.

Rock Covered With Seaweed

Poipu Beach, Kauai, Hawaii

As I went for my morning walk I noticed some rocks that were covered with seaweed.  The waves were coming and going as they moved the seaweed.  This photo is deceiving because the rocks are about 2-4 inches high.  There is an island, just out from Poipu Beach and you can see it in the distance.  It is very small, sometimes there are Monk Seals on it or at other times people are out on it.  I have been out to it many times, but the ocean was too rough today to go out.

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!
