I saw this vehicle in distress on an early morning walk at Spencer Beach Park. I’m happy to report that, the next morning, I saw the vehicle again. It was parked among the bits and pieces of a family camping there. I’m not sure if it was theirs or they just found it on the beach. Either way, the vehicle was in good condition and ready to go for more beach reshaping.

Mature Hawaiian Hogfishes usually live in deeper water, with the juveniles most often seen by snorkelers. But in my regular swimming spot, mature female Hawaiian Hogfishes, such as this one, can be seen regularly, if not frequently.

I also like the look of the Yellow Tang in this photo. “Why is she following me? Why won’t she leave me alone?”

On my recent walk along the coast to Hapuna (here), the trail passed through a residential area where there were some structures with a kind of thatched roof. I saw this Gray Francolin resting on one of them and liked how it blended in with the thatch. I thought the sprinkler could offer it a little refreshment, though I suspect if it went off the bird would have taken off like a bat out of hell.

I liked the color and markings on the lip of this Pitcher Plant (Nepenthes Truncata) at Hawai’i Tropical Bioreserve & Garden. Almost made me want to jump in. Almost.

It’s not unusual to see offerings of one sort or another at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. These flowers were on the edge of Halemaʻumaʻu Crater, scene of the current eruption. In Hawaiian tradition, Halemaʻumaʻu Crater is considered to be home of Pele, the goddess of fire and volcanoes.
