I had the pleasure of returning to Kaua'i Hawaii after 13 years. Other than a few big stores near Lihue, not much has changed. The island and its people are still as beautiful as ever. I spent a little over a week taking in the beautiful views from land, sea, and air; I didn't want to leave. I took the shot above at a scenic overlook near the north shore of the island overlooking Hanalei valley. The valley of Hanalei is surrounded by majestic mountains. A mile wide and 6 miles long, it the home of the Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge. The majority of all of Hawaii's taro is grown here. Taro is used to make poi and numerous other food products that were and still are the mainstay of many Hawaiian's diet. The fields are constantly irrigated with water and are grown in patches giving the valley a patchwork quilt look.
