For such a small Island I can say that five days left us little time with nothing to photograph. Each day we found a new area to see, and new things to photograph.
Up on the North shore Kilauea and Hanalei were an eye catching treat to explore. Weather was cooler, and changeable. Due to some storms last year roads past Hanalei were washed out. On my last visit I had a private docent led tour by my daughter-in-law of the Limahuli Garden Perhaps, next time.
My friend with her long lens finally got to capture images of the birds of Kauai. I tried, but quickly found other things of interest. Without long lenses, and strong arms to hold said lens, I look for things that are possible with the tools I can carry.
Meet the yellow garden spider. Aside from the wind, this spider stays still for a photo opportunity.
The Nene is the official bird of Hawaii. I even caught a photo of it young.
The views from this spot are spectacular. I so enjoyed visiting the north shore.
Rain started up, and we continued on to Hanalei, our selected lunch spot. But oh so fabulous a landscape.
Photo Bombed! 
Capturing some of the flowers here on Kauai. For some of these we stopped at a nursery where we could get close to our subject.
When I’m in Hawaii I like to take in a luau. The garden setting is lovely. A tram ride tour started us off.
Kalua pig roasted in an imu oven starts the ceremonial tradition. Followed by song and dance show. Not to easy to capture. I used my Fuji with a 35mm f1.4 lens and we had good seats!
Peacock photo bomb 
I’m leaving the last bit of this photo tour for another day! Hope you enjoy the images as an arm chair traveler!
