Not the greatest photo, I know, but when I saw this bird flying off the North Kohala coast I knew it was something I hadn’t seen before.
It’s a Laysan albatross, more often seen on Kaua’i and O’ahu, but also on other Hawaiian islands. This wide-ranging traveler can cover a couple of thousand miles or more as it searches the Pacific for food.

My eye is drawn to how wavy the horizon looks! But the bird must’ve been an impressive sight, I’m now reminded of how I saw large eagles all through my Argentina trip and was always in awe

I like getting the water in these kinds of photos when it’s rough. Gives it more of a feel I think.

By the way, on a totally different subject, is Finland really part of Russia? I was thinking of running for president and I thought that might be something I could get asked about!

I wish he’d just move permanently to his alternative reality and leave everyone alone.

I hope so, but as H.L. Mencken said, “No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.” (That’s not his actual quote, but the way it’s usually paraphrased.)
