"Nā Pali Coast of Kauai" ~ Sailboat navigates the majestic Nā Pali Coast of Kauai between Kalalau Valley and Alapi'i Point amongst mountains that rise 4000 feet above the Pacific Ocean.
"North Shore Seascape" ~  In the late summer of 2010, I had the amazing opportunity to spend a week on the beautiful Hawaiian Island of Kaua'i. One day along the way to a kayaking tour in Hanalei Bay, my friends and I made a brief stop at the Kilauea Point National Wildlife refuge to check out the historic lighthouse.  On the walk back to the car, I noticed this beautiful vista of the north shore of Kaua'i, looking westward toward Princeville.  The cloud formations over the mountain with mid-morning lighting was simply perfect.  More often than not, it's the shots that I don't plan for that end up being the "keepers."
