The Ohia is one of the most plentiful trees of our cloud forest it provides shade for under story, shelter to native birds..its one of the first things to take root in lava fields beginning the process of building soil..wether its used in railings or head boards its grains always provide something fine to admire..when clouds collide with our mountain swallowing the Ohias in its mists time itself vanishes..to see a mounted knight or T Rex glide through the Ohias would be no surprise..this photo was taken at 2600 ft. on the west flank of Hualalai volcano.
