Our second day of exploring Kaua'i was spent on the north end of Waimea Canyon Road in the Koke'e State Park. Koke'e has a whole collection of wonderful trails and some beautiful views of the Kalalau Valley looking out to the Pacfic Ocean.
To see some of our images from the day, here's the link to the starting point in my Kauai photo gallery.
In addition to photos, there are also a few short videos from the day, taken after I remembered that my little camera also takes very nice movies and that I could upload them all to YouTube and not take up my own disk storage space with them.
The first movie is a short movie showing the moving clouds over the western edge of the Kalalau Valley, taken from Pu'u O Kila Overlook.
The second movie is our encounter with a Nene, a native Hawaiian goose, taken at the entrane to Koke'e State Park on our way back down from the overlook.
And, in case you were concerned, John is not feeding the goose, nor did we ever attempt to touch the animal or be aggressive towards it in any way. He simply is gesturing with some grass to get it's attention.
If you want to see these videos in the context of the rest of the day's photos, I have also linked to them, where appropriate, in my photo gallery.
And if you just want to keep track of what I am uploading at YouTube, here is a direct link to my YouTube Channel
Cool- a nene! A rare, endangered species :)
Wow! We were there 2 years ago, but it was completely fogged in. Thanks for letting me know what we would have seen.... ;)
