Description

The forecast for my Kauai, Hawaii vacation had been rain, rain, rain, for the whole week, but on the second day, the weather suddenly cleared for four days, and it was lovely. There are many sights to see and things to do on Kauai - beautiful uncrowded beaches, challenging hikes, whales, dolphins, birds, and even mountain goats, along with lots and lots of roosters, hens and chicks. One of the most magical places on earth, rain or shine, Kauai is lush and tranquil.

A must do is a boat ride up to the Na Pali Coast. During the winter there are added benefits of seeing whales, as well as dolphins. This year's trip wasn't the best I've been on as the captain was simply going too fast. Maybe as a result of the swells and trying to make it up and back. But I didn't get enough time to linger when we did get around the whales. Also, on the way back, maybe because we had been going too fast, one engine burnt out and we chugged home at a very slow pace, hugging the coastline.

Nature, animals, beauty have been a source of nourishment throughout my life. Photography allows me to capture, interpret, and share that world of wonder I see about me, and sometimes use what I capture as an inspiration to create something new, by incorporating other exposures, textures or brushwork.

I currently reside in Oregon, an environment rich in nature's graces. I have lived in California and New York, too, and everywhere there is a world of beauty around us, if we care to take the time and look for it.
