Just the one photo for this one. One of the riders in the Kamehameha Day birthday parade a few years back. A bit of brown leather saddle and an abundance of burgundy foliage fits the bill.
A couple of views from the birthplace of King Kamehameha I in North Kohala. The top one, looking up the hill towards Kohala Mountain. The bottom one, looking out towards the ocean and Maui.
Shopping carts ready for action.
A couple of days ago, I posted photos of a downpour while I was at Costco in Kailua Kona. After the rain stopped and the sun came out, there were still large puddles around the store. I started taking photos of people negotiating them and reflecting in them at the same time. This was the last of those photos.

This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Favorite Vacation Spots.’ See more responses here.
I thought I’d go with a couple of old photos from a vacation I took many, many years ago to Switzerland. I really enjoyed Switzerland because the scenery was wonderful, the trails were well marked and maintained, and good chocolate was plentiful.
The top photo shows the Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau Mountains in the Alps. The bottom one shows some hairy yob atop the Mettelhorn, near Zermatt, with the Matterhorn in the background.
This second photo amuses me because I rarely take selfies, and back then a selfie involved finding a stable spot to place the camera, activating the timer, and scurrying back to, hopefully, get in the shot. Then, as now, it was a struggle because I’ve never remembered how to find the timer and set it, on any camera I’ve ever had!
It’s Halloween, and visitors to the island, here for blue skies and sunshine, must wonder what kind of scary place they’ve ended up in. We’ve had a system of tropical moisture funneling across the state for the past few days and it has been mostly gray skies and rain.
I was at Costco, having my car’s tires rotated, when the dreary weather unleashed one of its heavier downpours. Luckily, it eased up before my car was ready for me to go.
This photo was taken on the same evening as yesterday’s post, looking in the opposite direction, where a fullish moon had risen.
These clouds helped make a nice sunset a few evenings ago.
