Absence from iNat.
In September 2023, I decided to offer my volunteer services to the victims of the Lahaina Fires of August 8th. I stayed for a month and a half, returning to CA only to downsize and moved here in December.
I have taken so many pictures that my phone is ready to bust at the seems. In the very bright sunlight of Maui it is just about impossible to look at your phone until you get to some shady area.
I thank in advance the folks who will help me ID species I am not familiar with and i thank those that have helped me through the years I have been a member of iNat.
Sleeping in a car or at the beach is not the best situation to post and I really have to learn all the updates that have taken place.
I really miss being part of the team and hope to be back soon with a larger screen than a cell phone. At 66, I am getting cataract which is an added nuisance to the task of posting.
Best of everything to all for 2024.
Michele
