'Ole Ku and Huna: blossoms and pollinators

The night sky has been clear, and we are blessed with many sightings of Hina during the 'Ole Po

Huckleberries and wild blue berry bushes fill with blossoms opening. Bees and hummingbirds are wild for the nectar. Their songs high-pitched and present during the day.

Raspberry canes have become a hedge of green and tiny blossoms. The pin thin beaks of hummingbird are perfectly shaped to harvest and pollinate. I watched her yesterday, busy with her gathering amazed at her diligence.

Grape vines are reaching out and growing wild up and onto the garage roof.

The wind is strong. The sky has filled in with clouds. No sign of blue at noon. Seems to be blowing off the Cascades, from the Northeast.
