Hawaiian Landscapes: Sunset in Hanalei

As a good friend said while writing me birthday wishes today, I’m a lucky duck.  We landed in Kauai last night so I was able to spend my birthday touring the island’s eastern and northern areas.  It was a great day in the forests, on the beach and in the water with my family.  I started the day making abstract images of wet leaves with my son and finished the day photographing in the Taro (Kalo) fields in the Hanalei Valley with my dad – both very special moments.  A wonderful day for a fortunate web-footed broad-billed bird like me.  Thank you for all of the very kind messages and warm wishes.
