Trail closed
Walking down to the water at Lapakahi recently, my wife and I found the trail blocked by this fallen tree. Luckily, we were able to work our way around it and carry on to our swim. After the swim, I saw the park maintenance man cutting the tree up and the next day the trail was wide open again. It’s been windy lately so I think that’s what took it down.
Yellow-fronted Canaries

Getting a wriggle on
I saw this Undulated Moray Eel during a recent swim. They’re usually most active at night, but are sometimes seen during the day. This one had striking markings and is possibly a juvenile. They’re not an eel for messing with though, being known for having a rather nasty disposition!
Crown flowers
Crown flowers (Calotropis gigantea) have a long history in Hawaii and have many uses including in leis. This solitary plant was growing in the lava near Kiholo, so they’re hardy too.
