Recently, fossilized bones that are thousands of years old, have been found here on Oahu. They tell of giant flightless geese (with 6 foot wingspans) who once lived on an island very different from the one we see today.
To the slow growing trees, we are just a blur. The ancient mountains have barely noticed our presence yet.
Some days I'm just a flightless bird
preening my useless wings. . . . .

Have a terrific day. :)
Great quotes today. Keep getting up every time you get knocked down...
I lyke that there waterfall, Mmmm Hmmm...
you should show your excellent novel on this blog!
i.g.
Great photos, great quotes, great post. Fascinating about the fossils of the bird. I love looking at the ones at the natural history museum. It's hard to imagine anything that old! Hope you are having a great week, Aloha!
As always-- great quotes and great photos. I was in need of both-- thanks. Aloha.
Your wings are far from useless as you carry us all along with you on your flights through the woners that are Hawaii.
Aloha, moloi`eheme, Cloudia.
Islands have often been a haven for flightless birds.
You are SO smart! I just coughed up 50 cents (didn't there used to be a 'cent' sign on a typewriter key?) @the library for a 2000 edition of Fodors for Hawaii. Just wanted to be close to you, I'm working my way up to your book!
I love seeing you folks here!!
Thank You
Skies of Hawaï lokk like skies above my garden.
I like all these pictures.
Aloha, Cloudia !
Greetings from New York
Cloudia,
I loved that your first picture was of clouds. It's fitting given your name:~)
I agree with the others about the quotes and I really liked what The Grandpa said...that was really nice.
Thanks for sharing your Hawaii with me:~)
Jolly!!
How can the archeologists who found these geese be so certain they were flightless? Many of the facts on history and fossils are only theory. We should search the infinite knowledge in our souls to find the truth.
