Queen's Bath, Kauai, Hawaii, June 2017

Our first sunrise shoot of the Don Smith Landscape Photography workshop started out miserably. A slippery path down to the lava shore proved even more treacherous when a steady rain began upon our arrival at 5:30 a.m. Cramp-ons were attached to our hiking boots and down the path we trekked. We covered our camera gear the best we could and waited for the rain to stop. The misery was worth the wait. Once the rain moved off to the west and the sun rose behind us in the east, this beautiful double rainbow appeared.

Mohihi Overlook, Waimea Canyon, Kauai, Hawaii

On the drive up towards and along Waimea Canyon, our workshop schedule called for two stops prior to sunset. At this overlook, as if right on cue, a wide rainbow appeared, seemingly bridging the gap from one side of the canyon to the other.
