My March blog showed up in
April, and now April is showing up in May, sorry. I would fix it if I was a little more geeky.
APRIL FROM THE AIR - HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIL
For Gil’s birthday we took a flight around the island in
a small fixed wing plane. Our Friend
Marion was here from Seattle
The island is very wet and is still breathing mist into the air as all the photos reflect. We tend to edit with our eyes and interpret what we see, but the camera doesn't filter the air. The sun and clouds played hide and seek, April is always sketchy.
Nawiliwili Harbor with the Huleia River that feeds it from the mountains
First little cove on left is our favorite south side snorkel beach
next to the Beach House restaurant
We have lots of underwater friends there
This trail is straight down from the Kalalau lookout at Kokee State Park
Kalepa Ridge
we have hiked it several times, out to the edge where you lay down to look over!
Lagoon and beach lower right corner is Ke'e Beach
another great snorkel spot in summer, but so much more
a very cultural, spiritual place and the grounds that beckoned us to move to Kauai
Hanalei Bay - also fed from the mountains, hiding in the clouds
Pali ke Kua is the beach far left - a favorite snorkel beach in Princeville
Our house is in the upper left corner, a bike ride to the beach trail
with view of Namolokama mountain (below)
Just as we soared over over our lovely friend, Namolokama,
the sun hit the green – what a thrill.
The rain has continued to fall in the high country which means lots of waterfalls!
It's fun to be a bird
The pilot had pointed out movie and celebrity stuff but we were more interested in landmarks we knew and loved in the mountains and ocean.
Just the same, we all agreed this view of Wailua Falls was pretty cool.
About four miles out of bustling Lihue on a little two lane road, it's a handy breath of nature.
The power of water - a beautiful thing to contemplate
