Follow the lines

Lines on the walkway at North Kohala Hospital in Hawaii

Kohala Hospital has been around since 1917. The buildings look a little worn, but they did build a new emergency wing a few years back. Recently, I was there to have blood work done and, after I reached my destination, I realized I should have been following the blue line! All’s well that ends well. including the blood results.

Reflections in a shiny Airstream trailer in Kawaihae Hawaii

In Kawaihae, there’s a very shiny Airstream trailer which houses Seabird Coffee. When I stopped to take photos of it, what caught my eye was that one rounded corner of the trailer did wonderful things to vehicles waiting for shipment elsewhere, my car (on the left), and a passing truck!

On reflection

Reflections in a helmet visor

It’s been raining a lot lately and I was waiting for my pizza slices to be ready. What to do? There were two motorcycles parked in front of the pizza place, with helmets hanging from the handlebars. This one had a visor I liked, so I pulled my phone out and snapped a few images. I liked this one best, and yes, those are my feet. I left them in because I thought they look amusing and because they look a lot better in this photo than they do in real life!
