It is awesome to have friends who will take you to weird little turnouts on the side of the road just so you can walk along a gravelly trail in search of a handful of birds. I visited the island of Kauai on a recent press trip and on my free day, Kim Rogers (she writes the Outrigger Hotels blog about Hawaii and it’s terrific) took me to the Kawai’ele Wetlands, where we got shouted at by a pink legged stilt, admired the flowering yuccas, and found this dragonfly who looks as though she is made entirely of gold.
And in case you’re wondering, shot handheld with a Panasonic Lumix.
