Dave, calling Dave!

Dave, Protien!!!!
Make you you get some protien!

Kassy, I am still enjoying all your beautiful pic's that you have been adding here. I checked out the Wisconsin Botanical website for native Araceae plants in your area this morning. I only found one plant that may fit what you have that I was asking you about. Maybe "Peltandra virginica"? I asked Jean about it and I think she tend's to agree as well but what do you think?

OH, if you only knew how may pictures I delete right away because of them not turning out. I just keep trying ^_^
The Harbor

I didn't know what head cheese was so I looked it up. That is totally grooooos!!!!!

Cute shot of those ducks. I guess they sit there a lot!

Kassy send me that dark rock on the lower left please...
Hi Rachel! How are you?
Trina I like a good cheeseburger.

I have to add here as well. I cannot understand why Terry stepped in on that one thread that Jean started when the Slug thread has so many more post's on it........scratching head on that one.

Rachel

Kasy I have about 7 blurry shots of the loon and some babies...lol

I noticed the BF is not in the pics. You didn't push him off that rock I hope!!

Those are really nice pictures. I've never been that far North.
Guess someday I should .

Show us just one of those blurry ones, please.

I like bacon cheese burgers.

Dave, do you think that is the leaf that Rachel is talking about and that I showed you?
Dave is more of an expert then I am.

Last picture for tonight and then BF needs the computer.

The Water ^_^
Nite everyone, hang in there!
Talk to you tomorrow!

Jim, you have eaten pig's feet;-) I will take a cheeseburger over those any day of the week.

Lynnie, doing well and hope you are too. Now where is a picture of a Loon and her babe's.

I have to admit, I have eaten them. Actually, they are pretty good. Surprizingly a lot of meat on them. Not something I'd go for regularly. Bacon cheese burgers, right on. Want me tell you something really dumb? My favorite hamburger is the double cheeseburger off McDonald's dollar menu. When I had the last by-pass surgery, I wouldn't eat. Finally sent a runner to McDonalds. My doctor would just come in and frown.

it's downstairs, do i have to get up? I'm all tucked up with the laptop :) can I post it tomorrow?

that's why half the words that should start with capitals don't

bacon cheeseburger with fried puffball mushrooms....

I hear you Jim but I am not going to eat "Pig's feet" no matter how they are fixed;-) My favorite burger from a fast food joint is........A Whopper with cheese from Burger King!

No, you do not have to get up from your comfy spot Lynnie.

I like burgers with almost anything, cheese, bacon, sauted onions, mushrooms, peppers, pickles....

The plant looks like it could fit as an Aroid. Considering that Rachel said it, well, I like everything that Rachel says!

wow, cool pic!
rachel i'll post it tomorrow, but it's petty blurry...camera probably had sunscreen on it too lol

Did that rainbow touch the ground on each side? Beautiful!

Dave, there you go again making me blush!! In all reality....what other plant could Kassy's plant belong too.? By the way...start showing some pic's from your hike!

Lynnie, I can alway's put my glasses on for a blurry picture.....heck my camera pic's are alway's blurry when I try to zoom in on thing's.

Yes, it was very vibrant all the way across. I kept moving down the mountain to try and capture the rainbow at it's brightest. Because the Sun was going down and the clouds kept moving in, I had to move quickly.

Hi Rachel!

I don't think I have ever seen a full rainbow like that, that was so bright!

Rachel, I think you have a nice photo of your special friend.

Sounds like you succeeded Dave.....in moving quickly. Grin

Good evening everyone. yes, Dave I do believe it is the P virginiana as Rachel said. Hi Rachel. Lynnie JJs Jim
Venice

Kassy, it looks Marvelous in here.....seems you had a great day in the great outdoors....thanks for fighting dial up to share.

Here is sub-alpine woodland on Mauna Loa where I went to photograph a rare form of 'Ohi'a, that occurs no where else.

awesome pics Dave

I am not up on my HI vocabulary. What is 'Ohi'a?

wow must have been something I said
good night then

Dave, let us know what 'Ohi'a is and I will find out in the morning.

Good night all! And 'night little witchy! Hope you sleep well.

Hey Jean, we don't fight dial-up, we control it!

This is 'Ula'ula 'Ohi'a. A rare form of glabrous 'Ohi'a with dwarf leaves, and deep red flowers, fruit, young stems, and new leaves.

I'm tentatively calling this: Metrosideros polymorpha variety glaberrima forma ulaula.

It only occurs in HVNP at the end of Mauna Loa Road, at the trailhead to Maweoweo Cauldera.

Keep those picture's coming Dave.

Venice, will you add a prayer for my plant along with your Wilty? Much appreciated;-)

I'm not going to bed....but you sleep well

her ya go Venice. http://www.govisithawaii.com/2008/09/04/the-lehua-blossom-on-the-ohia-tree/



Dave that is beautiful. how cool.

Nobody said anything wrong. My dial-up takes 10 - 15 minutes to upload a photo.
I'm glad to answer any comments, please expect me to take some time doing so.
I'll be as fast as I can travel!

Here is the Koa tree canopy on Kipuka along Mauna Loa Road.

There are a few game birds found in the park. This is a Frankolin.

Resin ID'd this one on the Bird ID forum as Erckel's Francolin, Frankolinus erckelii.

That is a really open canopy...rather sparse foliage.

Hey Jean! How are you this evening?

More photos on the way.

Cool Dave, I will be around for at least one more round tonight. It looks like you really had a productive day.

Doing just fine....got a little done outside between showers...but not nearly enough work or rain...grin
