Another "get it done early" shot. But I managed to find something I liked anyway.
I'm having to move out some of the taro near the lava tube, for reasons having to do with the waste line and the cesspool (both 75 years old). So this yellow leaf is on its way out. Anybody who knows taro will immediately see that everything is wrong over there to the right side of the image. Taro stalks lying on exposed lava -- that doesn't happen when they're alive. Fortunately, this is vigorous taro and they'll all be growing strongly once we're finished disturbing them. Not these exact ones on the lava, though. They are goners.
