The cruise ship is in
Cruise ships used to stop once a week at Kailua Kona, but these days they seem to be present three or four days a week. There’s no dock so the ships anchor offshore and ferry passengers ashore by boat.
On Tuesday I saw the Norwegian Spirit heading in. In the photo, the Honokohau Small Boat Harbor is in the foreground illustrating the difference in size!
There goes the neighborhood
I looked out of my bathroom window the other day and noticed two things. One was this Green Anole on the Ti plant by the side of the house. The other was that the Ti plant had grown so tall, it was now blocking the view from the window. Later, I went out and chopped the Ti plant down to a more manageable size, checking beforehand that the anole was no longer in residence!
Walk this way
You know you want to!
Oleander
These Oleanders were growing at Mahukona Beach Park. They had a nice scent, but are not something to be consumed as they’re quite poisonous.

Fourspot Butterflyfishes
I saw these two Fourspot Butterflyfishes happily nibbling on this coral head. If you look closely, you can see a small Arc-eye Hawkfish nestled in the coral, just behind and below the butterflyfishes. It looks a little anxious, probably wondering if it’s going to be nibbled next.

One size fits all
Numbered seating at the Edith Kanaka’ole Stadium in Hilo. I reckon quite a few two-ticket people attend events there!
