A few weeks back I posted an image of my feet in a visor reflection. This is the kind of image I was looking for when I took the photos.

Lili`uokalani Gardens
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘National Garden Month.’ See more responses here.
A while ago, I spent some time in Lili`uokalani Gardens, in Hilo. The gardens cover almost 25 acres, including Moku Ola, better known as Coconut Island. They date back to 1917 and are named after Queen Liliʻuokalani, who was the last ruling monarch of Hawaii, before the kingdom’s overthrow by the U.S.A. in 1893.
Over the years, tsunamis have damaged the gardens, which are situated on the waterfront. But reconstruction, after these events, has restored and improved the gardens and kept them as an integral part of Hilo’s downtown.

This Cattle Egret didn’t seem too eager to plunge into the tall grass, though it kept a watchful eye on proceedings!
Ringtail Surgeonfish
A Ringtail Surgeonfish, with some nice blue markings, scoots away in shallow water.
Lesser Meadow Katydid
I think this is one of the Lesser Meadow Katydids, possibly a Long-horned Meadow Katydid. Regardless, I loved it’s colors.
Bat Plant
Bat plants are wonderfully exotic-looking. They like warmth, moisture, and shade so are perfect for the tropical forests on the east side of the island.

The Numbers Game #121
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 243. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
The top photo and the first gallery are photos that haven’t run on the blog before. I don’t know why I never ran the top one, though I had a lot of good photos to choose from that day.
Lined Butterflyfish
The largest of their family, these butterflyfish can be ‘as large as dinner plates’ according to my fish book. This one was probably a little over half that length.
