Friday Fotos — Kilauea Lighthouse Point Wildlife Refuge

November 4, 2016 By Terry Leave a Comment

At the Kilauea Lighthouse Point Wildlife Refuge, there’s a small island. Its name is Moku‘ae‘ae Island. According to Kauai Vacation Secrets, the island is five acres. The fact that it’s five acres surprises me because when you’re looking at the island from the promontory, it looks small—really small.

There are no permanent residents—other than about twenty species of birds. However, the island does see human visitors. But, only the intrepid kind. The last time we visited, a couple had landed their kayaks and were doing a little exploring. Between the rocky shore and the ocean currents, this looks like a dangerous place to land. The other problem is, once you get there, what do you do? How many endangered birds will you disturb? And, of course, then you’ve got to launch off the rocks.

Friday Fotos — Lydgate Park water views are everywhere

September 30, 2016 By Terry Leave a Comment

Lydgate Park Water views

Now that we no longer own our condo just down the road from Lydgate Park, I’m not sure how often we’ll get to see these Lydgate Park water views. This was taken on the walking path, where there are plenty of these wonderful peek-a-boo views through the trees. I miss those morning walks at Lydgate. It’s a great way to start the day and get everything going in the right direction.

Warm water, soft breezes, and sand crabs at Nukolii Beach

May 27, 2016 By Terry Leave a Comment

When you’re down by the shore, you can walk amongst the rocks, get your feet wet, and watch for those funny little sand crabs at Nukolii Beach. Those little guys must have an endless job. They’re always toiling away or digging in as the next wave approaches. While it might seem terribly dreary to be a sand crab to one of us, imagine their endless dedication to making a life right on the beach. There are far worse things we could do than spend our time digging in the sand while the waves roll in. Don’t you agree?sand crabs at Nukolii Beach - 2016-05-27

Baby Beach on Kauai — small beach and gorgeous views

April 29, 2016 By Terry 2 Comments

Oh, this was so much fun, finding Baby Beach on Kaua‘i during our last trip. We decided to park in Kapa‘a and walk. As we headed south, we quickly got to the end of the Kaua‘i Coastal Path and went into the residential district fronting the water. Along the way we came across this great little sign for Baby Beach,  which is also known as Fuji Beach.

There wasn’t much water because it was low tide. There’s also not a lot of shade, but this can still be a terrific spot for keiki or just hanging out away from the crowds…not that Kaua‘i beaches are ever really crowded like our Southern California beaches can get. From here, we headed north on the Coastal Path…and ran out of steam long before we ran out of pavement!

Aloha Kauai — it has been far too long since our last trip

April 22, 2016 By Terry 2 Comments

We’ve been going to Kauai in the Spring for many years now. It saddens me, but this year will be an exception. Bringing everyone these Friday Fotos is always nice because it gives me a chance to revisit the islands. Maybe we’ll be able to make it late this year, maybe not until Left Coast Crime in Honolulu in 2017.

A recent trip to Carlsbad for a morning walk reminded me of how much I miss seeing and hearing the ocean. Since Kauai will not be in the cards for at least a few months, I’m determined to visit our local beach. The water here is far more chilly and the days not quite as nice, but they’re here and we can do that until the next time when we say, “Aloha Kauai, we’ve missed you!”

Friday Fotos — double Kauai rainbow

January 29, 2016 By Terry 3 Comments

I went looking for something different this week, i.e., a photo that wasn’t mine, and discovered this double Kauai rainbow photo that’s listed as being in the public domain. Whoever took this did a great job and captured both rainbows. The top one is faint, but to catch it in the photo—bravo!
