In fact, a lot of the stuff you mentioned came from the Limahuli gardens, which you put me onto. (Me: "Frank sez we gotta go here." My wife: "Who's Frank??") That reminds me; I haven't even started to pick through the birdshots from the Lighthouse... Also Waimea canyon, as the first title says. Then there's Volcano National Park. But the proverbial rare birds were shot in the Hakalau Refuge. We booked a guided hike through Hawaii Forest & Trails - 11 hours with 10 miles of hiking, but, hey, they've actually got access to that place which most mortals are forbidden to enter! Oh yeah... the film... where the heck did I put that E-6... oh geez; two of my Usual Suspects for processing the stuff have gone under recently... I know I'll get to it,,, really I will...
