Recently, I saw this schooner anchored outside the port of Kawaihae. It’s been a couple of years since I last saw it (here). The vessel is used for sail training and research and is operated by the Sea Education Association.
The top photo was taken on a bright, sunny morning, and the other two, the afternoon before.

I usually see Kalij Pheasants on hikes off Saddle Road or in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. I don’t remember ever seeing them at home, so I was surprised when I saw two striding down the driveway.

When I’m snorkeling, it’s always fun when a school of fish goes by. This one zipped by off of Mauna Lani. I’m not sure what they were. They went past too quickly.
I took this photo in Hilo, when I went over to the orchid show, specifically to use in the last Becky’s Squares. Then I forgot about it!
Despite the ‘Yes, We Are Open’ sign, the shop was closed, but what caught my attention were the long red drapes covering the windows. They provided a swathe of red and some good reflections, including a banner for the tattoo parlor on my side of the street.
