This month's images are from our recent trip to Hawaii (see also blog post "Ha-Wow-ii". We spent a week of our time on Maui, and went on a great 8-hour hike on top of the Haleakala volcano. The landscape is truly surreal, best described as walking on the moon. (At least that's what the moon looked like last time we were there). There were cinder cones everywhere, and the Silversword plants scattered the landscape. These are found only on the Hawaiian islands, and they only bloom a tall stalk of foliage every 50 years. Pretty impressive, and a really cool plant to photograph! I found myself huddled next to these plants, just getting lost in the fuzzy coated swords. Check'em out HERE!
