I still find places in Hnl that are less developed and quiet...But over here on Kauai - which is the least developed island...we are surprised with a very different landscape and lifestyle that replenishes the soul and fills the heart with joy...<br /><br />Hi Martin<br />Kauai is a relatively unspoiled place where nature reclaims her territory very swiftly through re-vegetation or hurricane...or maybe tsunami...the very high rainfall ensures jungle like growth in many areas...<br /><br />Hi Jennifer<br />the orchid was hiding on the rear of the coconut trunk and it was not until I walked further along my cul de sac that I spotted it....<br /><br />Hi Jinksy and Ellen<br />the orchid is a beautiful specimen ...to see them growing outdoors on trees like this is lovely...<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Hi Nancy<br />my son and daughter in law are spending this week in Mauai and enjoying it although it is very different to Kauai. I have not been there for 30 years so imagine that it has developed a lot since then.<br /><br /><br />Hi Meri<br />this place would not suit anyone who needed to be entertained, but for those that love nature and solitude it is wonderful...<br /><br /><br />Hi Alden<br />I think that little kauai mansion might just fit in your container..I'll have it shipped to Whangarei pronto...It may arrive with a few geckos but they are great for catching mozzies...<br /><br />happy days to you allDelwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155836879539082676.post-11010546479643815602010-03-11T09:42:13.608+10:002010-03-11T09:42:13.608+10:00You are visiting a picture book world with strutti...You are visiting a picture book world with strutting rooster and orchids popping out of trees.

Hanalei gets a fair share...sometimes I have stayed here for 6 weeks and it has rained every day....Unseasonally, it has been dry for the last few months but over the last week the showers have settled in...which makes good blogging weather...and good coffee breaks after a walk...<br /><br />Happy daysDelwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155836879539082676.post-51883492194665453942010-03-10T13:28:54.021+10:002010-03-10T13:28:54.021+10:00delwyn - rich and gentle. the space you're in....delwyn - rich and gentle. the space you're in. i love visiting here. stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155836879539082676.post-3470437476366928582010-03-10T13:27:41.592+10:002010-03-10T13:27:41.592+10:00Following your blog is such a treat.

You certainly are staying in paradise... fun...Well. You certainly are staying in paradise... funky past and present, with breathtaking beauty around any given corner.<br /><br />I was thinking though... New England. Northeastern USA. It's all about the edges of things, where rock collides with ocean or any water, really. Granite-lined streams pooling emerald green. Ancient mountains weathered to roundness, yet profoundly severe to the elements. The people, too. We are known for our edges, but New Englanders will rally round when we're needed... we're just real silent while we do it. Craggy.<br /><br />Never mind. For now, I myself, am enjoying glimpses of the exotic and Pacific through the windows of YOUR eyes. thanks for the comments and the response.
