Out on the Land
Tuesday we had Max's Parent-Teacher conference (he's a bright kid with 5-year old issues; we knew that); while we were conferencing, Max played with his friends, then we went out for a visit on their Kapoho land, which I'd never seen before.

 | Max and the girls spent most of the time gathering flowers and playing in the kids' tent. |
 | Here you can see them circling back up the hill towards the site of the house-to-be, while Lisa gave us the tour and I took, of course, pictures. |
 | This is a Papaya blossom, and some small fruit. It's one of those odd trees that fruits on the stem, not on the branches. Looks quite alien, actually, but we've gotten used to it. |
 | I haven't seen a lot of ladybugs around here, actually. |
 | These Yellow Garden Spiders are pretty much harmless to people, but they are inches across and can catch small lizards.... |
 | Lisa's got a lot of food plants, but also some really neat flowers. I don't remember what this is, though. |
 | Or this. I just missed a bee in this shot. |
 | My favorite is apparently called a "Mexican Sunflower" and it attracts "nectar moths." I love it, and the light was perfect for catching hovering insects. |
