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!
They’re back!
I was at work when I saw this bee buzzing around at the back of the building. Surely they’re not going to start a hive inside, I thought. The bee left, but when it returned I saw it was carrying a bit of a leaf. So, not a hive, but just a Leafcutter Bee nest. Clearly, it thought the hollow tube of a handle on a piece of equipment was ideal for this purpose. It was wrong. I put a piece of tape over the entrance and when the bee returned, it flitted around a bit looking for a way in. Then it disappeared outside, not to be seen again.
Are you sure it’s not raining…
…Because I’m sure I’m getting wet.
More mushrooms
I posted mushroom photos a couple of days ago. Here are two more – mushroom anchors at Kawaihae.
