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 232. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
The Kaumana Trail, off Saddle Road, is only a mile or so long but passes through a fine array of ferns and other vegetation.

Just the one photo this week, of a recent encounter at the island’s Costco. These Rosy-faced Lovebirds and others were snacking in the parking lot. I’m not sure whether someone threw this there or accidentally dropped a bag of seed or something similar. Either way, this was the only photo I got because every time I was ready to take another one, a car would come by and the birds would scatter!
Umauma stream runs into the ocean on the east side of the island, several miles north of Hilo. I’d never seen this stream, or the waterfalls on it, because I was always driving when going over the bridge, which gave this view. On this occasion, I stopped after crossing the bridge and walked back to take photos. The stream and falls were running strong because of recent heavy rainfall.
There are three falls on the stream, which can be viewed by visiting a botanical garden in that area. One of them is visible at the top of the photo, on the right. The water flowing in from the left side of the photo is a smaller subsidiary stream.
I spotted this moth on the side of my car and liked how it looked there.
I was trying to get a photo of a turtle taking a breath – harder to get than dragonflies flying – but I liked the sparkles on the water I got by chance!
I like the exotic look of slipper orchids. Posted for Terri’s Flower Hour. See more responses here.
