The weather was windy, with some sprinkles each day I was on Kauai. The sound of the palm fronds slapping each other in a stiff breeze is very distinct. There is nothing quite like listening to the surf as you drift off to sleep or awaken from a very restful snooze.

And then as the sun sets beyond the palms, the sky looks eerie with an army of what appears to be spiders dancing in the wind.
