2015 KAUAI RETREAT

Kauai is a magical place. It fills us with wonder — the sea, the plants, the creatures!

There were 14 of us. 
We lived, we laughed, we cooked amazing food and
painted our hearts out — all on the tropical island of Kauai.

Driftwood "dragon" on the beach at Hanalei


I have NO IDEA what this is, but found it floating on the beach.


Children playing.



Adults playing!


We listened to poetry by Sue and Rosemary. 
Here a page from Sue's new book "The Carniverous Gaze
decorated with last year's Hawaiian limpets!


We visited the Limahuli Botanical Garden...



...where it rained! I'm ducking for cover. 

But the sun blessed us most of the time this year.


We shopped the farmer's markets... 


...always on the lookout for ripe fruit — or a photo op! 



A special moment, finding a favorite artist showing in a local gallery. 
We visited the Kilauea lighthouse.



Laura added immensely to every facet. Her baking was awesome!
