Pacific Golden Plovers will soon be heading north to Alaska where they breed. Before doing so they acquire a black and white front which you can see here.

Highfin Chubs
Highfin Chubs are quite common around here, but a bit shy about being photographed, at least in my experience. This group were headed towards shallower water when I saw them.
Koki’o ‘Ula’Ula flower
Koki’o ‘Ula’Ula is a native hibiscus which is rare in the wild, but available in nurseries. This one is a bit past its prime. I’ll have to go back to where I saw it at Kohanaiki to see if I can get a more robust bloom. Posted for Terri’s Flower Hour. See more responses here.
The Numbers Game #119
The idea of The Numbers Game is to enter a number into the search bar of your computer and then post a selection of the photos that turn up. This week’s number is 241. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
Hornworm Tachinid Fly
The Hornworm Tachinid Fly is considered a beneficial insect because it lays its eggs on caterpillars, which can decimate many varieties of plants. However, that also means it’s an enemy of Monarch Butterflies, which I don’t approve of, because it will do the same to their caterpillars.
A gray day
I’m happy to say that our weather here is back to normal after a couple of weeks of cold, gray, rainy weather. I took this photo during that time and it looks much the same in black and white as it did in color!
Airstream reflections
A few days ago I posted (here) a reflection in an Airstream trailer in Kawaihae, which is the home of Seabird Coffee. Here’s a photo of the entire trailer with more extensive reflections.
Bar chart
I know it’s not an arty description, but this reminded me of a bar chart or perhaps city skyscrapers.
