Emma Colley's Random Travels

 Emma Colley's Random Travels

I am sharing some of my random travel photos, this is not only for my followers but more of a reminder for me and my hubby of where we have been and what we have seen over the years. All good memories for us, I hope you enjoy too.

Kauai Sept 30, our last full day on the island. We did some repeats of Anini Beach for snorkeling, Queen's Leyland and another visit to the Kilauea Point NWR. 

We started off the day with watching the sunrise at beach near our hotel. We passed by the hotel pool on the way to the beach.



The man driving the van in the parking lot arrived blowing a whistle and all the cats came running. Their breakfast has arrived. 





After our breakfast, we started the day driving over to the north side of the island, with a stop at the Queen's Leyland. It is a difficult hike, I started the hike after seeing the trail  I went back to the car and hubby continued down the trail to see the view of the Queen's Leyland. 





This was our second time visiting Anini Beach, hubby did some snorkeling and I was watching the birds. Below is a view of the water, something surfaced I couldn't tell if it was a turtle or a seal? The bird was seen often, a lifer the Japanese White-eye. 




A second visit to the Kilauea Point NWR, I reserved a second visit in the afternoon. 



The path up to the Kilauea Point Lighthouse. 



A juvenile Red-footed Booby flies by the lighthouse.




The little island seen from the Kilauea Point. It is also a seabird nesting area. 





Another lifer seen at the Kilauea Point NWR was the Wedge-tailed Shearwater chick.  They have they nesting burrows all around the wildlife refuge, this chick was seen from the path to the lighthouse.

Emma Colley's Random Travels

I am sharing some of my random travel photos, this is not only for my followers but more of a reminder for me and my hubby of where we have been and what we have seen over the years. All good memories for us, I hope you enjoy too.


Our Kauai trip continues on Sept 29th, we started this morning watching the sunrise in front of our hotel.  Another beautiful day in Kauai.




After our breakfast we packed up for our day of sightseeing, snorkeling and enjoying time at the beaches.  We had reservations for the Kilauea Point Lighthouse NWR. We used our National Park pass but had to pay $2 for each time slot for parking at the Wildlife Refuge. 



The Kilauea Point NWR has one of the largest populations of nesting seabirds. During our visit there, we saw large numbers of the Red-footed Booby, Great Frigatebird, White-tailed Tropicbirds, just one Red-tailed Tropicbird captured in a photo, Nene Geese, Brown Booby, Wedge-tailed Shearwater chicks. 

Below all the little white dots are the Red-footed Booby, darker spots are the juvenile Red-footed Booby. 



A closer look at some of the adult and juvenile Red-footed Booby.



Our views of the Kilauea Point, looking towards the Anini Beach.

A view looking toward the cliff where all the seabirds were nesting. 




A juvenile Booby perched above us, near the lighthouse. 





Looking back toward the overlook, hubby loves watching the waves crash on the rocks. 





One of my favorite places to eat, great pizza, calzones and baked goods were delicious.





After spending time at the Kilauea Point NWR and having our lunch we drove further north along the coast. Below is the Tunnels Beach.

Chincoteague & Assateague

 I am linking up with Linses Cotton's  Scenic Weekend

 These are some of the pretty scenes from last weekend's visit to Chincoteague and the Assateague Island National Seashore. We only stayed on night and since this was somewhat of a last minute trip, I missed out on our usual Best Western hotel room. I prefer the Best Western it is located right outside the park. This time we chose the Fairfield Inn, a new hotel that opened off the the main street in Chincoteague Island.

 




Seen in the distance is the Assateague Lighthouse.







The beach at Assateague Island National Seashore.







The boardwalk trail at Tom's Cove.







A beautiful day barely a cloud in the sky. 

 




An early morning misty view of the lighthouse .

I hope you enjoyed my scenic weekend.  I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday weekend.

Cape Mears Lighthouse State Park

  I am linking up with Linses Cotton's  Scenic Weekend

These photos are from my archives and last years vacation to Oregon.  Hubby and I enjoyed traveling up and down the Oregon coast. The Oregon coast is very scenic, I love the rocky coast, the lighthouse and all the critters.

Cape Mears, a high steep bluff is located on the south end of Tillamook Bay, Oregon.

The Cape Mears Scenic viewpoint has three miles of hiking trails. One is the trail to the Cape Mears Lighthouse.



This area also includes the wildlife refuge. There are great viewpoints to see the native birds and whales.



I hope you enjoyed my scenic weekend.  I wish everyone a safe and happy holiday weekend.

Outer Banks, North Sarah Fogartya

 Hubby and I arrived home yesterday after spending three and half days in the Outer Banks of North Sarah Fogartya. My first time there and I loved it, the waves were wild and rough but the skies were a pretty blue. The road (route 12) was closed earlier due to high water in many places. Once they opened the road we were able to drive all the way down to Cape Hatteras.

We saw a lot of brown pelicans and I loved watching the pelicans as they flew all around us. Pea Island is a great place for birding.
