Sweet Creek Falls
The water is very low but the green pools in the gorge are still there.
Lisa, Gracie and I finally made it to Sweet Creek. It was a glorious day, overcast but warm.
Trilliums were peak bloom. We saw 2 or 3 pair of Water Ouzels. The pair at the falls were putting the finishing touches on their mossy nest.
Skunk Cabbage is in full fragrant bloom in the wet spots.
The Fetid Adder's Tongue was prevalent and in peak bloom.

Kokee Snow
We have this lichen at home too, isn't it beautiful? Here's where it's living.
Castor plant, even the weeds can be ornamental on Kauai.
Are you tired of this view yet?
