An excellent look at the white patch that gives the bird its name:
Seriously, how am I supposed to not photograph this bird when it poses for me?
After determining that the weather was a bit better in Kapaa, the three of us drove there for lunch at the Olympic Cafe. While we were there, I photographed this happy Buddha with my phone:
A closer look at the statue:
On the way back, we decided to check out a few of the beach areas, starting with Mo'ikeha Canal:
A couple of pics of the canal itself:
Looking back up the beach towards Kapaa:
A huge piece of driftwood that caught my eye:
Some flowers we spotted in the area:
Next stop was Kealia Beach. The view south, back towards Kapaa, was fine. And I liked how the piece of wood mirrors the landscape in the background:
But the view north is much more striking:
A closer look:
The exact same view as the last image, but with a bit of sunshine highlighting the outcropping:
Our final stop was the northern end of Lumahai Beach. I share this, in part, to help demonstrate how ubiquitous the wild chickens are:
And now the view we came for:
Panning across:
Looking toward the other end of the beach; those small dark rocks at the edge of the beach, about a third of the way over from the right, are the ones I was photographing on my previous visit:
As you can see, the beach has a fairly steep dropoff, courtesy of a recent tropical storm:
I loved watching the way the water came off the rocks:
Probably the biggest splash I photographed that day:
I really liked the layers of colors in this one:
More splashes:
One last wide look:
And finally, a few shots of the lagoon; it's a popular swimming spot, so I felt very lucky to be able to photograph it when it was empty:
Looking up toward the river:
And where it merges into the ocean:
