Although my part-time home and photography emphasis is the Big Island, the other Hawaiian islands are magnificent, diverse, and exciting to visit. It is a great luxury to be able to hop on a plane for the short trip to Kauai, at the other end of the Hawaiian island chain. Kauai is the oldest major island and could hardly look more different from the Big Island. It is very green (!), has jagged peaks, many beaches, many active small farms, and so on.  Here are some of the things I have seen on my short trips there.
