The Kaumana Trail, off Saddle Road, is only a mile or so long but passes through a fine array of ferns and other vegetation.

They got it at Costco
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Feed the Birds.’ See more responses here.
Just the one photo this week, of a recent encounter at the island’s Costco. These Rosy-faced Lovebirds and others were snacking in the parking lot. I’m not sure whether someone threw this there or accidentally dropped a bag of seed or something similar. Either way, this was the only photo I got because every time I was ready to take another one, a car would come by and the birds would scatter!

The Numbers Game #109
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 231. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
Cruising cornetfish
I was coming to the end of a recent swim when I saw this Blue-spotted Cornetfish in very shallow water. Often, they’ll scoot away, but this one continued slowly into ever shallower water. The water was clear and the day sunny so the blue spots show up really well.
All kinds of storms
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Storm.’ See more responses here.
I’ve gone with a few different kinds of storms starting with a Great Frigatebird or ʻIwa, which is known in Hawaii as a storm bird as they are considered indicators of approaching storms. Below is a rain storm in North Kohala on the road to Upolu.
The next two are scenes at Kawaihae port when the winds are whipping. A dirt storm above and a sand storm below.
Desert Rose
A Desert Rose (Adenium obesum) growing in its preferred environment – full sun, warm temperatures, and not too much water. Posted for Terri’s Flower Hour. See more responses here.
