Early morning, blue skies, gentle breeze, fresh smells as the forest of ohios awakes…bird song bouncing through the tree tops. We’re prepared …chocolate, water and walking stick. The trail is damp from overnight rain, rocky and in some places steep. The colors are luminescent, shiny bright….
Mauna kea glimpsed through the forest canopy.
Beneath the towering heights of the Pali a beautiful botanic park lies….plants, animals and birds…on the windward side of Oahu….
Its name means to “make a place of peace and tranquility….
Heliconias….above and below
Taro growing on the edge of a lake.

Red seal bamboo…
The view driving in….

Over the past few months I’ve posted some of the changes as the summer season has progressed.
This morning just blew me away….the textures, the tones, the shadows the colours…
