It all starts with the creation of Earth
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Celebrating Earth Day.’ See more responses here. Here are a couple of photos from the last Hilo Orchid Show.

Lapakahi path
The main path down to the water at Lapakahi was heavily eroded in the recent rains. New poles across the path, together with a layer of crushed coral, have fixed much of the damage. It will be interesting to see how much survives the next heavy downpour!

Classic
I saw this truck when I was waiting at a traffic light, whipped out my phone, and snapped a couple of photos. Not sure what kind of truck it was, but I thought the image looked best in black and white, with the truck itself not looking much different than in color.
Jumping spider and flying ant
I’m not sure what kind of jumping spider this is or even if this is actually a flying ant, but what’s going on in the photo is unmistakable!
The Numbers Game #120
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 242. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here. Also posted for Terri’s Flower Hour. See more responses here.
Wreckage
Two views of the engine, prop shaft, and propeller of the SS Kauai, an old wooden steamship, which sank in 1913 in Mahukona harbor.
