A sailboat glides over the water off the North Kohala coast, an image that doesn’t look much different in color.

I’m sure this cheerful reindeer would like to join me in wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

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.


A couple of days ago I posted a Yellow-billed Cardinal bathing at this pool of water. It’s popular with insects too.

I like the effect caused by a recent full moon rising behind the hedge at the back of the house.

This juvenile Yellow-billed Cardinal took full advantage this popular pool of water being temporarily unoccupied to have a thorough bath.







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!
