This Dendrochilum filiforme orchid is a native of the Philippines. It’s also known as the Golden Chain Orchid, for obvious reasons, and the small flowers are fragrant. What’s not to like!

The ones that got away
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
The shadow is coming
I took this at Kawaihae Harbor because the shadow made me think of a giant, alien praying mantis approaching. Yes, these are things I think about!
The Numbers Game #49
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 170. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
Rainbow Chubs
Rainbow Chubs are rare in Hawaii. I’ve seen them before, though not often. These three were in an area where I saw two the week before. My fish book says they drift in as waifs from the Eastern Pacific, but I wonder if perhaps a breeding population is establishing itself in Hawaii.
What big eyes you have
This Fiery Skipper Butterfly, which I think is a male, rested obligingly in a hedge for a short photo shoot
Barber’s pole
This is a traditional barber’s pole out in front of the place where I get my hair cut. I like the print next to it too. It looks like my hair before I go in!
Sunset from home
I photographed this recent sunset from the front lanai. It helped that I climbed up on the railing, which allowed me to omit most of the wires, poles, and automobiles! Photography is not without risks!
