So little Koa on the island now. This shot makes me sad. But that is what good photographic art is meant to do, right?
Heidi Fickinger replied:
It is sad Jeff. There are some groves that I know of that are glorious, with giant trees, but the onslaught of development, invasive species and climate change are making survival of so many wondrous species native here terribly imperiled. Much aloa to you Jeff for your recognition of what is happening here.

Thank you so very much Kay. I did not know I had a top finish until reading your note!

Looks like a lot of thought went into this photo before clicking the shutter. Timing, location, composition. Fav, Tw

You are so kind to say this Jim. I have to truthfully admit, I went to this location to photograph the sunset, which was happening in the reverse direction and then move to the top of Mauna Kea to photograph the full moon. Suddenly I thought - THE MOON! and whipped around to see the moon caught in this tree. Thank goodness for a good tripod!!!
