Well, we only have two more mornings left to wake up in Kauai, I wanted to share some highlights from a hike we took the other day along the southeast corner of the island. I had never been on this hike before and found it to be uniquely different from anything I had seen here so far.
This is our fourth time on Kauai and we have truly enjoyed ourselves. I never get tired of the beauty here. Not only is the scenery beautiful, but so are the Hawaiian people. They have a deep and abiding love for their island home that is reflected in their attitude and lifestyle.
The wind was blowing when I shot these videos so the sound isn’t that great. When we came across this particular cove I was really surprised because, for the most part, the island is volcanic.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing this little sample of the amazing beauty and diversity of my favorite island. Next week I am hoping to put together a composite video of highlights from the last two weeks. Until then, Aloha!

Thanks Steve, I’m going to sort through all the video clips and photos and put together a virtual island tour when I get back. I need Quick Time for that and I don’t have it on the laptop.
Nature truly is amazing. Thanks so much for sharing your experience in Kauai. The rock formations are breath-taking.

Hi Nea, this island continues to amaze me. It’s a place I would like to visit every year. I’ve got hundreds of photos and short videos, so I’ll be able to share the really special sites when I return.
Hello Jonathan,
Incredible views from the Kauai Island. I am so glad that you took that vacations there.
It shows the majestic beauty that the ocean perhaps carved by itself.
So beautiful and unique ~ thank you for sharing these magical views with us.

Hi Z, I am so glad you like it. This is a perfect place to escape winter. Give it some thought, I know you would love it.
Jonathan,
It sounds like you are having a blast! I hope to see more photos after you back and at home.
You are right about that Frank. It’s been a real pleasure. Looking forward to sharing the highlights.
Hey, that’s real beautiful Jonathan.
Those rock formations remind me of areas in and around Nevada, without the water of course. I took a video of similar video there and watching yours was like watching my own. You even sound like me if it weren’t for that bit of accent you have.
Lovely; I feel all relaxed now

Hi John,
The thing that surprised me is the fact that all the rock (well, almost all) on this island is of a black volcanic nature. This rock is lithified. Lithified rock is composed of sediments which have undergone compaction and cementation. Makes sense for Nevada, but very unique for a volcanic island.
Do I have an accent?
Jonathan,
When you sent me this video through you tube..i just wanted to jump in and join you….And now i want to do the same thing
You seem to have an awesome time….And well Nature is beauty personified isnt it…
Much Love,
Z
p.s. Would you be interested in a guest post from me for advance life skills?
Hi Z, you would love the beauty here. We took a helicopter tour of the island and our pilot was born here. It was really a cool perspective. I will be posting video clips from the flight.
And yes, I would love to have you as a guest blogger.
Very beautiful island, looking forward to see more pics.

Lance´s last amazing blog post ..Sunday Thought For The Day
Hi Lance, this is the only Hawaiian island I ever visit. They all have their own charm, but there is a reason Kauai is called the “Garden Island.” There is even a canyon here that’s called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. The mountain in the middle of the island is said to be the wettest place on earth. In 2006 it got over 600 inches of rain.
Dear Jonathan, this is sooooooo beautiful. It is a place I hope to see sometime. I just LOVE the sea. This looks particularly rich and vigorous today. The whiteness of the surf is quite striking. So white that it made me think the water must be fairly clean there. Often surf can have a brownish cast to it. And the rocks are spectacular, raw, jagged and full of powerful energy. A place I MUST see one day. I am SO grateful you shared these and I can’t wait to see your full-blown video. Very exciting that you are getting into videos. You have a great voice for it. Not everyone does. Hugs, Robin

Aloha Robin,
The water here is very, very clean. Not only that, but ocean temperature is between 75-80 degrees. I am also amazed at how good these videos came out considering I shot them with my little Casio digital camera on video mode.
As I write this I am trying to reconcile myself to the long flight home tomorrow. It’s a hard place to leave, but it’s been a glorious two weeks! I feel like my inner cycles has now been synchronized with the constant rolling of the waves. It’s like I’ve had my harmonics balanced and tuned to fully align with the natural creation.
Robin, you would LOVE this place, guaranteed!
That is all so beautiful, the whole comment. Couldn’t believe you took these on a stills camera. WOW!! They are sooo clear. Also loved what you said about synchronized and balanced. Yes, I remember how the sea did that for me. Oh I hunger for the sea. …eventually I will return. Thank you my friend and wishing you and your family a safe journey home and easeful transition.

Another great inspiring post but a complete different manner — we can even get up close and personal with the nature from the video, imaginary (no worries, sometimes the imperfections makes it even real to us). I love the sea too! It’s amazing how nature works its way out with these artistic heritage – the cove, rocks.. Magnificent.

Jonathan,
It’s really irrelevant that I’ve chosen this article to leave a comment. I loved the article and the photos, but I also wanted to read in detail all the ones that followed! Your website is terrific. Your About section in which you mention that by knowing who you are and being true to yourself, you attract good things particularly hit home with me. After a slight detour, I’m back in that mode and enjoying my new good news, good ideas, good outlook blog, http://www.goodoodles.com, which I started last month. It’d be an honor if in your web travels you checked it out sometime. Any feedback, guidance, comments bienvenidos!! Meantime, I’ll keep an eye on all your helpful posts and thanks for them in advance!
I love Hawaii, been there a few times and want to go back as your right the air, color and beauty is astonishing.
