Another orchid from Hawai’i Tropical Bioreserve & Garden, which unfortunately I don’t know the name of. For more information about Hawai’i Tropical Bioreserve & Garden, go to htbg.com.

How it feels if you haven’t got your shopping done!
Wasp at the water hole
A couple of days ago I posted a Yellow-billed Cardinal bathing at this pool of water. It’s popular with insects too.
Moon on fire
I like the effect caused by a recent full moon rising behind the hedge at the back of the house.
Wash, rinse, repeat
This juvenile Yellow-billed Cardinal took full advantage this popular pool of water being temporarily unoccupied to have a thorough bath.
View towards Maui and the coast
I was up at a ranch on Kohala Mountain Road and the place boasted an impressive 180° view, from Maui to Hualalai. This is the northern part of that view.
The downside of the location is that the wind can blow like crazy. During the big windstorm of a few months ago, they registered a wind speed of 83 mph!
Two urchins
Sea urchins can have a wide variety of looks as illustrated by these two I saw on a recent swim. That’s a Collector Urchin in front and a Red Pencil Urchin behind it.
Gingerbread house
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Festive.’ See more responses here.
I wasn’t sure what I was going to post for this until I went to the dentist and found this in the waiting room. Not sure the sign is in the holiday spirit though!
