Waimea Valley - Botanical Garden and Water Fall - Sat. Nov. 21, 2009

When driving around with Jim and Myrna on Fri. we had seen on the map this place but couldn't find it along our way. So Sat. Helmut and I went back and found it- the sign was very small. We enjoyed a fairly long walk through the gardens to the falls. We had some showers along the way. I have a love of flowers as we took many pictures. At the moment I can't locate the folder that has the names and pictures of so many of the flowers. So just enjoy looking at them.

















































































































The bird is a White-rumped Shama. It is well known for it's beautiful singing. This one was certainly going strong with the singing this afternoon. It was very close to where I was resting for a little while.












































We were told the falls was about 40 ft. high and that the pool was about 30 ft. deep. We weren't prepared to go swimming.
