A Look Beyond Flowers and Fauna of Hawaii

Yellow Tropical Hibiscus
While it is freezing and snowing outside I am catching up and reminiscing by going through some photos from our visit to Kauai this past fall.   The island of Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands is one of the most beautiful places I have ever encountered.  The island is a gardeners dream comprised of tropical rain forests, beautiful blooms and interesting foliage.  I took hundreds of photographs during our trip and just completed sorting through each one and choosing the best to bring here.  We also encountered some amazing native and tropical birds at the resort we stayed at that are worth sharing.  If there is a place on earth one could call paradise this is certainly it.
