This Coryanthes macrantha x Stanhopea tigrina orchid was one of the weirder orchids at the last Hilo Orchid Show. Posted for Terri’s Flower Hour. See more responses here.


These mushrooms had been roughed up a bit by falling branches during a recent storm. I was impressed by how many of them there were.


A Reef Lizardfish strikes a pose.

One of the many goats in the Kiholo area. I don’t believe it was going to take one of the canoes out on the water.

I took this photo coming back from a swim last weekend. We like to go early as it’s never crowded then and, generally, conditions for snorkeling are better earlier in the day.

Late afternoon sun on the ocean off Kohala.

Achilles Tangs are one of those fish that I see often, but rarely photograph because they zip away when my camera is raised. They’re particularly plentiful at Mauna Lani, and last weekend I encountered this one that was a bit slow with its escape.
