Layers of beauty. Layers of allegory. Layers of post.
I humbly
(Ha! I’m dang proud of this, cliché or not!)
offer this photo as participation in both

AND
Jeremiah’s, From the Ground, Up.

Many desert plants thrive in Hawaii. We have a moderate climate: not too hot, not too cold — and moderate rainfall: not too much, not too little. They also like the volcanic soil, rich in nutrients, but high in sand and rock content, so the roots don’t get damp rot.

The two groups swirled [...]

Obviously, the “up” is implied, but I thought this photo fit the category in its own unique way.

So, what is that in the picture? Come on, give it a wild shot.
Yep. You guessed [...]

I just found this cool website online, CheckMD, that let me check out my personal doctor’s back ground. I checked on my Doctors in Vegas. I checked on a doctor I used long ago back home. I was surprised to find that they all came up. (They are all still practicing.)
There [...]

We encountered this little flock outside a snack foods shop in Ala Moana Mall.
They were just lounging around waiting for their next handout.

You all have to know what a wonderful and loving man my OC is. All day long I stressed over what to do for Y. I wasn’t willing to settle for a simple photo of our yard. I wanted something spectacular. He was spectacularly unhelpful. Perhaps one could even go so [...]

This xerophilous Prickly Pear Cactus
was equipped by nature for a life in a very dry climate,
but it is thriving here in the land of relatively consistent 80% humidity.
And I bet you had no idea that the flowers on this plant are xanthochromatic.

As are these, Allamanda.
And this lovely lady of the dog bane [...]
