A couple of weeks ago, I promised photos of Kilauea Lighthouse. This week, our Friday Fotos are taken at Kilauea Lighthouse and the surrounding grounds. The lighthouse is now located on the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge, which is home to Red-footed Boobies, Laysan Albatross, Wedge-tailed Shearwaters, White and Red-tailed Tropicbirds, Great Frigatebirds, and Pacific Golden Plovers. While not a birds-eye view, these photos do let Kauai show off her natural beauty.
Hint: you can manually advance through the slides by placing your mouse over the slideshow and clicking the pause button, then use the forward/back buttons to navigate.
