Flowers and Birds

I love photographing flowers as we hike -- and this year we started getting to know the birds on Kauai.  They are much more difficult to photograph so I don't have pictures of them.  The songs they sing fill the air as we hiked. Every once in a while we'd spot a gecko. On this hike I spotted the first wild orchids we've seen on the island.
