Kauai sunset

A final sunset from our Home Exchange cottage -- we'll be leaving tomorrow evening. Kauai is a magical place, with beautiful mountains and beaches.

Little native vegetation is left, except for very remote areas in Waimea, but that's the case throughout Hawaii. The National Tropical Botanical Garden is doing a great job rescuing endangered plant species, restoring their gardens on Kauai with native plants, and promoting planting natives in landscapes. A good thing.
