These little guys were along much of the upper trails once it broke out of the woods and started up the 'BVD' ridge.

ohia tree blooms, looking north again

from the turn around spot, looking south towards honolulu, half the group continued down the ridge to a few more peaks, we looked for snails here, its nature conservancy land.

pearl harbor in the foreground, tiny diamond head way in the distance, can you see it?

diamond head crater view #5

Special, 'only in Hawaii'/native, the only snail i saw, others found another, kenji says cannibals snails are moving in, hence the dearth of the snails......, We all receive a handbook/photobook of snails/photos Ken took, some are more striking.
