As the sun sets behind the Waianae Coast range on O'ahu, I find myself descending a foothill trail leading from the Ko'olau Mountains.  The air is still; the trade winds blow elsewhere for now. The lack of breeze allows an undefinable mixture of herbs to scent the air.   A flock of parrots screeches its way across an otherwise silent panorama.  Those clouds!
