Slope We Planted - a photo on Flickriver

Slope We Planted

            This is the slope I worked on for most of the day.  Although steep, it held some wonderful pockets of soil on small ledges or terrace-like formations.  It was a wonderful five hours of lifting and dropping an `o`o, kneeling to plant `a`ali`i and working with two other volunteers who did most of the planting as I dug.  (One of them traveled from Oahu to participate, and plans to work her 2012 schedule around these trips.)  We had gentle conversation that ranged from politics to biology to music and careers; bonds of friendship sprouted and/or strengthened.  The three of us probably planted about 100+ plants out of the 1200 total for the day.  Dirty fingernails, sun tan, and tired shoulders were our reward.
