A Hike in the Ko'olau Mountains

Today I hiked the mountains nearby my home. At one point we came upon what I think was an ancient heiau, which is an area that was used as a spiritual center and in another place I spotted a rock that had been wrapped with a Tea leaf, which is what people leave as an offering to Pele, the goddess of the volcanos. As I walked the trails through the river beds and up to the ridge line I could feel the mana and the presence of old Hawaii. Nature is so encompassing here.
And I found the most darling little curlie Q vines...just the right size for a new creation!
