After sheltering under a nearby boulder from a late afternoon tropical downpour my patience was rewarded with a rainbow only befitting the Garden Isle’s most majestic valley. Excerpt from a “letter to the editor” ”.....it brought back fond memories of my (several) hikes to ‘Heaven on Earth’. Last time I took my honey she threw down her pack and proclaimed loudly, ‘This is insane. I’m not going a step further!’ / As I peered over the more than 600-foot vertical drop to the ocean I began to remember, many years ago, my first hike to Kalalau. Well, I had to yell at her, and if I had a bull whip, I may have had to use it (joke). She happily thanked me later for making her finish the hike, and indeed she verily danced with confidence on the return leg. / For the purist, hiking is the only way. Every corner is a new breathtaking vista that serves to only lighten that heavy pack. Paddling – it sounds like fun, but you really haven’t experienced Kalalau unless you hike it and spend a few days there. Like fine wine, there is no hurry to drink. / What’s the big rush ? ‘Getting there is half the fun.’ But Kalalau is ‘being there is all the fun.’ Experience its night sky filled with so many stars you will see your own shadow and swear its moonlight. Take time to savor its stunning beauty and then you will be truly blessed by this enchanting place and know why Kalalau is the world’s premier hiking destination.” This image is featured in the KALALAU VALLEY calendar on YOUTUBE / / and also in the RB publication GAIA – The Living Planet .

MARION CHAMPMAN is a wonderful artist and a lover of patterns and design.. Printmaking and experimenting with all kinds of materials and colors.. she really turns my head.. Marion… truth be told.. Kauai is not a very pastel-y place.. so I took my photo and gave it a Marion Wash.. I love this shot..I do not know what this is but I spent some time with this guy..It was a very tall tree and that is how the leaves grow on it.. no branches!! Marion’s Chapman’s Pastels inspired Maddy of Smudge ARt Fame to write a most lovely lovely piece.. My gratitude for the Love here is ever growing.. Thank YOu Maddy! What beauty is this I behold ? / “A feast to ones eye”, I am told. / Leaves wrapped in soft hues. / Colors of gold, red and spiritual blues. “A tree without branches ”, she did say. / Just leaves that enfold it in every way. / Lina sad, this tree amazed me so, / I could not look at it and just let it go. It inspired me until I returned home, / In my minds eye, this is the tone. / I know Creator left this for me to do, / So I painted it gold, red and spiritual blue.

A shot from one of the most spectacular sunsets we saw in Kauai. This shot was taken from the Princeville Hotel, looking towards Bali Hai. – Aug. 2008 Featured in Going Coastal on Feb. 28, 2009

PLEASE VIEW LARGE This is one of the most peaceful shots I took. Thus the illusive and loving Wendy Slee has been called by these very leaves to meet them. / Note: within minuets of the viewing Wendy channeled this poem and I knew then when you follow how you feel all becomes like a bright light of Love. I mean this shot literally called Wendy to them (leaves). She is a treasure to connect with.. Much Love and Appreciation Wendy.. Breeze of Existence / By: Wendy Slee 2008 Then as if through deep forests, / With their breath held waiting / Comes a stirring, a movement, anticipating… / Leaves awaken, heart quickens, limbs lift and extend / To receive the cool caress of a long welcome friend. / And you are here, / You the wind, / It is you that I know, / Yet know not where you come from, nor where you will go. / A free spirit you pass by me, / Yet somehow remain, / Swirling around me and through me, / Easing the pain… I ache to just hold you, keep you here for all time / But I can’t catch the wind / Cannot grasp what’s not mine…. / If I close my fingers, I’ll hold nothing but air… / If I reach out to possess you, it’s myself I’ll ensnare… / So I stand in your path, feel your breath on my face / And just bask in your spirit / As it moves through my space… / In the silence of your passing, the emptiness wake, / There’s a stillness that echoes with all you evoked / The power and beauty of the zephyr flies free / But your essence and magic has become part of me..

We were treated to one gorgeous sunset after another in Kauai. I love this photo because you can see someone enjoying themself in the hammock, while another person just sits in the chair, soaking in the beauty. This was the kind of sunset that just stopped everyone in their tracks and took all of our breath away!!!!! Nikon D200, Nikkor 18-200mm VR lens Please check out my calendar – SIMPLY SUNSETS

Palms on the Princeville Beach in Kauai. /

This was the moment I was hoping for after eleven very strenuous miles on a muddy, narrow trail. We photographers go fishing every day, mostly we get nibbles, but sometimes we land a whopper. I am so proud of this image because I went out to shoot this scene very intentionally. It was very hard work, and this will pay off. The Na Pali Trail winds along the steep and rugged coastline of Kauai’s North shore, and ends in the legendary Kalalau Valley—the place is nearly mythical in its beauty.

A clearing storm just before sunset on the Napali Coast, captured from Kalalau Lookout in Kokee State Forest on the Hawaiian Island of Kauai. For me, the incredible light and views that can be seen at different times of the day from this vantage point are second to none in all of Hawaii. The only thing you need to do is be patient when you arrive, as this area is frequently fogged in and rainy. As an example, I waited almost 2 hours before the sky broke and I was able to capture this shot. For me it was worth the wait !

The tricky thing about visiting Kaua’i (or any Hawaiian island for that matter) is that the weather quickly changes. We stayed in Princeville during our last visit which is in the north shore, the “wetter” side of the island. We had to always bring rain gear with us, regardless of the forecast. On the bright side, if it is raining, chances are it’ll clear up in an hour, sometimes less than that. Storms bring fascinating sky conditions and dramatic lighting. Kaua’i had just been bombarded with floodings the week before we visited and roads had been closed. I took this shot just after a trailing storm passed and rain stopped pouring down at the town of Hanalei. I really have to give kudos to my husband and 7 month old son for being such troopers waiting on clearer weather with me. I only wished I had captured this with a wide angle lens. My husband beat me to it.

. . Kalalau Stream and Spires / . Paddling the Na Pali coast to Kauai’s Garden of Eden may save time, feet and back, but experiencing the ancient Hawaiian 11–mile cliff trail to Kalalau is the most fulfilling. Every corner of this arduous trek has a new breathtaking vista that serves only to lighten that heavy pack. . featured on YOUTUBE . . . .

against the sky you do not see my pain / pricks of moments that everyone has agreed / should follow me to forever. / But I am looking to the sky now for answers / and I have been told by the cumulus clouds / I have more than my moments past to consider / I have this most powerful NOW I can choose to embrace / I feel my NOW as perfect cause I started to talk about the sky and it’s beauty / It feels like my past has became whole / My future looks bright / like the sky that I listen to. Linaji 2009 PS. I did nothing to this photo..not even a hue change.. I wish I remembered the settings..xxx
