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. I've been to Kauai numerous times, but never seen this bird. It had rained for days on end, and I initially spotted these small glistening red birds in the rain. They seemed to travel in flocks and move very quickly when on the move. One of the most magical places on earth, rain or shine, Kauai is lush and tranquil, a perfect setting for this tropical bird.

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.
