Snapshot of Kaui Island Hawaii

     As the sky and the sea meet each other at the horizon their colors seem to melt together. The peaceful sound of the waves diving into the shore sing in my ears like a children's lullaby. The white sand tickles my feet as the sea breeze pushes the grains. As I look out into the ocean the clear water shows images of wildly painted fish and the turtles that are calmly enjoying the ride of the current.

     Off in the distance, the relaxing sound of the waves and the differing colors of the sea give way to blue and green mountains with surprises lurking deep within the hills. The volcanic mountains hold a beauty similar to the ocean but at the

same time one that is so different. As you make your way to the heart of the forest you begin to hear a mysterious sound, filled with the singing of birds and the scurrying of the animals. Eventually you find a clearing in the trees and your eyes peer across a white rush of water. As you adventure to the pool of water beneath you, a cooling mist of water settles on you face. A distortion of water and sunlight create a rainbow just above the surface. The beauty captivates you almost as if it is trying to hypnotize you. As your descent down a hillside brings you closer to your reflection in the endless pool of blue water, you take a deep breath of the dense Hawaiian air.  Your heart skips and you jump into the refreshing water. The echoes of the gallons of water filling the pool makes you feel one step closer to heaven. This Is Hawaii.
