Thanks mate! Excellent. You could edit and copy this into the notes.
You must have some great stuff to shoot around that part of the world.
I was blown away to find 'wild' kangaroos on Oahu.

This palm stands about 5 feet high and is about 8 feet in diameter. It is also called a cardboard fern, as it looks more like a fern than a palm. This is located on my sister's property which is located in the Puna district of the island of Hawai'i.(a few hour drive for me) It's beautiful, but has no special meaning to me.

Cool shot Ryan! It would be great if you add a photo of the whole plant for a better appreciation :)
