“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.” Ashley Smith

It’s yet another windy, rainy day here on Kauai’s beautiful North Shore. I feel like a stuck record! We headed out for a tour of a local Botanical Garden. It’s a privately run enterprise just a short distance from where we are staying in Princeville. We took the 3 hour guided tour (highly recommended!) which included tastings of many of the local fruits, as well as a very interesting Chocolate tasting and presentation. Despite the downpours that happened frequently during the tour – we really enjoyed ourselves and learned about the local fauna.

My husband and I lagged behind the group most of the time as we stopped to take many photo’s of the beautiful plant life.

I think we look a little soggy here in this shot. Luckily, umbrella’s were provided but we still got wet!
