The Pathways Hotel hosts an Artist's Night every week. We missed it while we were snorkeling the night before but it sounds like a good time. Local artisans come to demonstrate how they make various handicrafts and then the crafts go on sale at the front table of the hotel.
Steve spent some time explaining the different uses of each product, and showed us the ones that he had made (see the notes above).
The world class boanical collections in Waimea Valley owe there existence to Mir. Keith Woolliams, a dedicated botanical horticulturist who was trained at the Royal Botanic Garden at Kew, on the outskirts of London.
Keith led a rich life traveling around the globe studying botanical collections in England, Japan, Papua New Guinea and Bermuda. He brought to Hawaii his expertise and knowledge of uncommon horticultural treasures, and he acquired seeds, plants, and cuttings from remote places and botanical gardens all over the world. In pre-internet days dozens of letters and packages were dispatched and received daily.
His theme of "Conservation Through Cultivation" resulted in a balance of rare and useful native and Polynesian-introduced plants among exotic horticultural specimens.
What was once an ungroomed valley, filled with koa haole and ravaged by feral cattle was transformed into what you see today by Keith and the many dedicated people he inspired. They oversaw the design, landscaping and construction of the pathways, stone walls and stairs that frame the gardens. Keith's high standards for record keeping and signage persist to this day. He left us in 1998 with a library full of his propagation knowledge, cultivation practices and plant lore which survives to ensure that the precious life forms brought to this valley will thrive here long into the future.
Keith was an inspiring advocate for Hawatian plant conservation and he influenced many young people across the state. He connected Waimea with state, federal and international agencies such as the Center for Plant Conservation, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, and the Botanical Gardens Conservation International - partnerships that Waimea Valley continues to uphold today.
Keith was instrumental in bringing in critically endangered plants from Japan's Ogasawara Islands, hibiscus relatives from all over the world, and with international colleagues he tried to assemble wild-source collections of every species of Erythrina in the world. In the periodical, "Notes from Waimea Arboretum and Botanical Garden" published twice a year until 1992 he stated "Waimea is a labeled and documented collection of plants for educational and scientific purposes, a living gene pool for future generations".
It is with great honor and gratitude that we remember Mr. Keith Woolliams and his dedication to Waimea Valley.
I like the weeds growing between the bricks, it adds to the patterns.

On a walk around lIam Gardens with a Flickr freind. October 27th 2017 Christchurch New Zealand.
In 1860 Sir John Cracroft Wilson came to Christchurch from India and brought seeds of a few varieties of rhododendrons and raised seedlings. Rhododendrons growing along the drive at Strowan kindled Stead's interest in these flowers, but there were few varieties available in New Zealand. He imported some for Ilam each year and from 1918 used cool storage for importing them.
The soil at Ilam is a heavy clay which is slightly acid, and is known as Ilam pug. It is particularly suited to rhododendrons, azaleas, and other trees.
Stead began trying out layering, grafting and raising seedlings to produce larger and more brilliant flowers. He was a pioneer in using pinus radiata sawdust as a mulch for the plants.
In 1917 Stead was given seeds of the North American varieties and began experimenting with hybridising them.

Your dreams are right in front you, so close you can almost touch them. So many paths to choose to get there, mystery and fear behind each door. Will it aid your journey, or will adversity need to be overcome? Or will fear of failure, or possibly fear of success, keep you from going past the next door?

Pathway, Craters of the Moon National Monument, Central Idaho.
It was challenging doing photography in Craters of the Moon. The landscape is volcanic rock of varying texture that does an absolutely superb job of radiating heat back up from the ground. Navigation in the backcountry can be challenging, as there are not many landmarks from which to get your bearings.
This image is of one of the paved walkways in the main part of the monument. A mile or so south is the backcountry trail where you can find true adventure - just make sure to bring enough water for your stay, as there is no water to pump once you're out there.

This pathway looked tempting, if a little overgrown by the stile.
Stay safe and well everyone.
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated
Acknowledgement: The lovely reference photo used to complete this work was taken by my best buddy, I think he’d like to keep his anonymity; so I’ll address him by his nickname among our group of friends. So if anyone enjoys this painting it would simply not have been possible without my awesome friend the Dj Cube. Thanks for all your support buddy, I’m really grateful to have ya around ^- ^ Please do take the time to enjoy the original reference photo as well as the painting which you can see here

And with that, this painting was a really fun project. I’ve always wanted to do something in the subject of autumn, and I really like the results. I had a chance to work with iron oxides almost exclusively. Every mixture in the picture save for the sky, the shadow colour and the pavement is an iron based paint, or has one in the mixture. This allowed me to create some really lovely dull colors without overpowering the painting with high chroma. I think this really makes the sky sparkle as they’re high chroma diluted coats of Quinacridone Violet [Beta Quinacridone] (PV19) Pyrrol Scarlet (PR255) & Hansa Yellow Deep (PY65).
In tints PV19 undergoes a massive shift from Magenta to red violet, as the pyrrol scarlet lightens it shifts from an aggressive and rich Orange red to a subtle slightly cooler salmon pink.
All the lovely dark and subtle greens were also possible due to the iron oxides. The grass is a velvety blend of Iron blue [Prussian Blue] (PB27) & Yellow Ochre [PY43], some patches of it have Cerulean Blue (PB36) Instead of Iron blue.The Tree on the right was conveyed with Iron blue (PB27) & Burnt Sienna (PBr7). The shrub on the left is conveyed with a similar mixture, but instead of burnt sienna, it is Raw Umber (PBr7); & finally (if I recall correctly) the shrubs behind the pavement in the background are Iron blue (pB27) With Burnt Umber (Have I failed to mention how wonderful Iron blue is for mixing dark natural greens? Meanwhile Cerulean being a cobalt based pigment has a lighter and more powdery texture. Both do their respective jobs well)
The house windows are a light coating of Iron blue, the door a mixure of raw umber with a touch of ultramarine blue to dull it down. The house is raw umber (one section with abit of ochre) the wooden panels on the house are burnt umber. The fence is also a mixture of raw umber and yellow ochre. The Dirt pathway is Raw umber with Burnt Sienna.
The pavement is one of my favorite mixes, Cobalt Teal Blue (PG50) & Pyrrol Scarlet (pr255). It creates a wonderful silvery gray. The shadow tone is PB36 Cerulean blue & Pyrrol scarlet, this is a lovely near neutral which you can get a purple or stone blue bias from. I went closer to the cool cerulean, and it was a perfect mix for the cool shadows. The brances you see on the trees are a mixture of burnt umber with venetian red (PR101).
Finally and most importantly, the main focus of the painting, the tree leaves are PR101 (Venetian red) PBr7 (Burnt Sienna) & PY43 (Yellow Ochre) This trio creates a fantastic moderately chromatic range of oranges. I think they did a wonderful job at conveying the autumn element in the picture.
Overall I’m very satisfied with this project. I didn’t capture the lovely deep shadow contrast in the original reference photo unfortunately… And an oversight lead to a very washed out looking second house (Watercolor has to be done in layers. And because the hiding power isn’t very high especially in tints, all I could do was layer a light coat of the building colors, lest I rewet and bleed the tree leaves all over the place into a bloody mess) Other than that, I think there is a wonderful harmony in this painting. The grass does a wonderful job conveying sunlight at dusk, and the greenery has a lovely duotone texture thanks to the iron oxides. The sky is wonderfully luminescent, and the trees have that powerful autumn glow. Thanks again to my fantastic friend Cube for sharing his photos with us.

Thank anyone seeing this for taking the time to look, and until next time!
I'm not sure if you're even supposed to go down this path, but it was recently gone over with a trail cutter, so I assumed it was OK. It was at the end of this path, where you can see the water, that I caught my first Belted Kingfisher. Pretty spot.
This looks best in the lightbox.
Take a leisurely walk on this pathway through "Heritage Grove".
Heritage Grove Redwood Preserve is a magnificent 37-acre "old-growth" Redwood forest near the small Northern California community of La Honda in the Santa Cruz Mountains. These ancient trees, some as old as 1500 years, were spared from loggers due to the determination of one woman, Grace Anne Radwell, who early in the 1970's formed a citizens group and enlisted the support of 26 environmental organizations to stop the destruction. The aroused citizenry raised funds and, along with a grant from the San Mateo Board of Supervisors, were able to acquire the land and designate it as a county park on July 25, 1974.
