It didn’t seem possible Kauai could hold any more gorgeous sights – until we found the Kilauea Point Lighthouse.
As a National Wildlife Refuge, this point of land provides a safe haven for seabirds like the red-footed booby (I REALLY wanted a picture of one of those!), the Wedge-Tailed Shearwater, the Laysan Albatross, and the Magnificent Frigate Bird.
We got a special treat when a fuzzy baby Shearwater woke up in his burrow.
The Kilauea lighthouse was completed in 1913 and its Frensel lens eventually carried a candlepower of over 2,500,000! The lens assembly weighs over four and a half tons and the light produced could be seen as far as 90 miles away.
The views from the cliffs are magnificent! This is a definite “must see” if you visit Kauai.
A big thanks to DeliciousBaby’s Fun Photo Friday!

How can one river be so blue and the other so muddy? What a contrast!
After spending several days rafting on the flashed carmel-colored Colorado River, it was such a surprise to see the brilliant blue of Havasu Canyon appear. This picture of the confluence was taken just before we ended an amazing 6-day raft through the Grand Canyon with Western River Expeditions.

For DeliciousBaby’s Photo Friday, I thought I’d share one we picked to be on the cover of our new book What Boundaries? Live Your Dream!. It was a dreary, rainy day in Brussels when after hours of sightseeing, we stopped for a quick break near the statue of the Manneken Pis. I was standing with my nose pressed on the glass as the girls piled layer upon layer of yummy goo on top of this masterpiece. We ate it right out on the street and the looks of longing from passerby’s were priceless!
