📝 My Story:

If there’s one magical thing Hawaii gives you almost daily, it's rainbows!
During our travels across Kauai and Maui, it became a game to see how many rainbows we could spot — sometimes even two or three in one day. 🌈

They would appear suddenly after a short rain shower, painting the already stunning landscapes with even more beauty.
From misty valleys to coastal beaches, the rainbows were constant companions on our Hawaiian adventure.
It’s one of those little things that truly make these islands feel enchanted.

📸 Photography Tip:

Use a polarizing filter on your camera lens to darken the sky and make the rainbow’s colors pop more vividly.
Always shoot with the sun at your back!
