Waimea Valley Audubon Center




Wiamea though pretty to say means "reddish-brown water" which is not so pretty. When it rains the red iron oxide in the rocks goes in the water to look murky. It looked clear to me and the waterfall was beautiful. The center is divided into 35 distinct gardens of various plants from many Pacific Islands.

The most unusual tree was the Cannonball tree. It actually had large circular balls growing on it. And another tree with many "leg" roots had unusual shape. It was.a great walk with lots of shade. Then I enjoyed ahi (tuna steak) on a purple Taro bun with Japanese green tea.
