Moon above the airport
Recently, I was headed to Kailua Kona early one morning. The full moon was dipping towards the horizon as I passed the airport there, so I pulled over and took photos, just as a plane took to the air.
The second photo is an example of unintentional camera motion. I’ve no idea what I was doing, but I like the result!
The Numbers Game #64
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 185. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
Polydesma boarmoides moth
I saw this moth on a pair of pants hanging on a line. At first I thought it was the smallest Black Witch Moth I’d ever seen, but further investigation suggests that this is a Polydesma boarmoides moth. I can’t find out much about it though there is a similar moth, Polydesma umbricola, that is a problem on Monkeypod trees here.
After I took the photo, I shooed the moth away and brought my pants indoors before they became moth-eaten.
Going green

Curious Scrawled Filefish
On a recent swim, this Scrawled Filefish came right up to me to check me out. I’m willing to bet that its expression roughly translates into, ‘What a weird-looking creature!’
