Continuing with my series of images fitting the May PUG theme of "One Tree," I found this image from the Ulupalakua Ranch, in Kula, Maui, Hawai’i. There are many working cattle ranches in Hawai'i, especially on Maui and the Big Island. Much of the management of the herds is still done by Paniolos on horseback, as the terrain is in places too rough even for ATVs.
Ulupalakua Ranch, established in 1845, contains over 11,000 acres of historic land along the leeward slopes of Haleakalā Volcano. It was a favorite retreat for King Kalākaua, "The Merrie Monarch,: when it was known as Rose Ranch. In addition to beef cattle and elk, it encompasses Maui's only operating vineyard. Several unique trees were planted there in the mid 19th century, including this magnificent specimen: http://dan-matyola.squarespace.com/danmatyolas-pesos/2023/4/29/roots-1 K-5 IIs, smc DA 18-135 mm F 3.5-5.6 ED AL [IF] DC WR Comments, criticisms, questions, and suggestions are invited and appreciated.
