Night sky

I liked how the moon illuminated some cool clouds one recent evening.

Achilles Tang

Achilles Tangs are one of those fish that I see frequently, but rarely get the chance to photograph. They hang around in the shallows, but scoot for cover when approached. This fish was doing just that, but I managed to get this photo before it disappeared around the corner.

Cloud formations

On my way to work one morning, I had to stop and take photos of these unusual cloud formations along the South Kohala coast. I haven’t seen the likes of this before or since.

A Large Orange Sulphur Butterfly feeds at a Bougainvillea flower. The flowers are small and white, but the bracts are much larger and colorful, and a major reason for the plant’s popularity.

Am I bothering you?

A cow with a bird perched on its back in Hawaii

On a recent walk at Upolu, the wind was very light, an unusual occurrence in that area. As I walked past the cattle pasture, I got a long stare from this one. But it turned out, irritating as I can be, the flies were a greater bother. The whole herd was engaged in some vigorous tail swishing to very little effect. Luckily the winds returned the next day and most of the flies were blown away.

Plumerias here are starting to flower on their leafless branches. This flower is just opening revealing its perfect form.
