I'm totally caught up now, and my "U" is even up too. It's after midnight here, but I'm 3 hours ahead of Quilly, so I guess that makes me early, haha. I'll drop by in the morning to post in Quilly's "U" comments... unless I'm still awake in 2 1/2 hours, then I'll do it tonight, haha. Hi all… I’m totally caught up now, and my “U” is even up too.

Dr. John -- how long hav e you had that stutter? Jientje -- the sound of the waves -- and jet planes. This tree is actually very near the Kailua-Kona airport on Hawaii (a.k.a. "The Big Island"). Gattina -- there is no sand under this tree or on this beach. The ground is pebbles and rocks -- mostly broken coral. Robert -- your beach blanket had best be padded. Check out my comments to Jientje & Gattina. Mar -- beautiful, indeed -- and the water was perfect. Cath -- that isn't sand it's growing in, it's coral -- so you need to ask, how is that tree growing in calcium carbonate. The lava rock (these islands are primarily that) and the coral rubble are very rich in nutrients -- or so says the botanist/oceanographer on the other end of the couch. Melli -- well, I drive down unmarked roads in the middle of nowhere and pray that I don't get lost/mugged/murdered. This beach is actually very near the Kona airport and the science station OC visits monthly. Beside a roadside/oceanside park, which was packed, was a bumpy road no sensible person would have taken my sedan down. Fortunately, I am not sensible, and this tree was waiting for me at the end of the line. Karen -- it is the link that makes my spam filter eat your comments. Be patient. I check daily and fish them out. Baba -- be right there .... Juliana -- hmmm, I couldn't see much of the world from that spot. Behind me, where you can not see, was a long, low hedge. Mostly the view was ocean -- which was glorious! Carletta -- green and blues together are my favorite colors. Jules -- now THAT would be a picture! San -- I can give you driving directions ..... Minkydo -- you'd have to bring the lemonade in, so you might as well have a whole picnic. Cyndi -- me, too. Donna -- God does good work. JD -- bring a padded cushion, the ground is very rocky. Andrew -- I would love to have it blown up poster sized, but most probably the graphics place will want mucho dinero. David — it’s hard to take a bad photo of God’s masterpieces.
