Old Lighthouse Road - a *long* hike to the Kauhola Point Lighthouse - you can see it in the distance...
|
|
|
Hawaii common myna bird.
|
|
|
Remember this myna bird - there will be a question about this on another day...
|
|
|
Immature saffron finch, we think...
|
|
|
Adult saffron finch - they just glow -
|
|
|
We think more immature saffron finches.
|
|
|
Another glowing adult saffron finch.
|
|
|
A young saffron finch stalking something...
|
|
|
Speaking of glowing colors...
|
|
|
I don't know what these flowers are, but I love them.
|
|
|
They are so delicate and lacy...
|
|
|
And there are so many parts to them - some seeds are showing here.
|
|
|
The bees like them also...
|
|
|
This was an interesting plant with orange berries...
|
|
|
Same plant but with red berries.
|
|
|
Here you can tell there are red and orange berries on the same plant.
|
|
|
Same plant - with green flower buds, pink flowers, and red and orange berries - all on the same plant simultaneously!
|
|
|
A demure little white flower creeps through the other plants...
|
|
|
Struggling through the thicket...
|
|
|
The purple is a wild verbena - don't know about the yellow flower...
|
|
|
Beautiful little "filamentous" wildflower
|
|
|
Simple and elegant...
|
|
|
Same flowers and what looks like berries on the same plant? Maybe flower buds?
|
|
|
In the strawberry family?
|
|
|
Verbena on the hoof...
|
|
|
We work hard at home to try to get verbena to thrive!
|
|
|
Another delicate little specimen...
|
|
|
So many textures...
|
|
|
The triplets...
|
|
|
There is a lot of joy in a flower...
|
|
|
Lantana seemingly growing wild...

An abundance of seeds for this one...
|

A tiny wildflower.

Don made the sacrifice to walk back and bring the car closer - a nice sight...
|
|
|
Another pretty white flower.
|
|
|
More tiny examples.
|
|
|
A big cluster of cockleburrs...
|
|
|
These are ripe and ready to ride out on someone's clothes...
|
|
|
Silky petals...
|
|
|
A weird burl...
|
|
|
Don stands at the turnstile to nowhere...
|
|
|
Steve is still having a good time.
|
|
|
At last we can see water!
|
|
|
And the lighthouse!
|
|
|
The home stretch, with a dove flying by.
