Skyward -- Kauai





One more Kauai post after this one. I'm starting to get behind on other things. We got back from a little roadie to an awesome campground in the Cuyamaca mountains last week, so I have some photos from that and now we're leaving on another one in two days to the Santa Ynez Mountains. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining one little bit!

    Pat, these are just beautiful... a tropical paradise!
    I would frame these and hang them as a trio in my study/office... somewhere to dream about escaping to when on the phone to particularly annoying clients!

    Nat - Thanks Nat! This may be hard to believe, but I've never hung or printed a single photo I've ever taken.

    Mynx - I really like that one also. some might say there's too much sun in it, but I like it!

    Alex - Thanks Alex. These two places aren't major mountain ranges, but they are nice in their own right.

    Lucy - I guess the trade off is age... I wish I could done these things when our kids were young.

    diane - Me too! Nothing like it.

    Bossy Betty - As long as it's okay with you. Believe me, I'll have at least one on me at all times. We have one hike planned to what is supposed to be a really nice off the beaten path waterfall. We'll see...

    Oilfield Trash - Thanks so much!

    missing moments - thanks!

    Ms Becky - Thanks Ms Becky! I am having fun, I have to admit though, I think I like doing these things better in when everyone's kids are back in school. It's more quiet...

    Super sunsets Pat! You know these type are my current enjoyment. I even went out tonight and caught a weird sky formation at sunset. Nothing beats the tropical setting and a good sinking sun. You had a great trip!
