Where’s the shadow? It’s Lahaina noon! Original post here.

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 220. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.

Sriracha is one of two tigers at Hilo’s Pana’ewa Zoo & Gardens. It was a very hot day and both tigers were sheltering in the shade of a large stand of bamboo. Luckily, after a while, Sriracha ventured out of the shadows to check out us humans. She didn’t stay long. It was too hot for that.
