A pair of reef lizardfish rest on a patch of lobe coral. I usually see lizardfish by themselves so this was unusual. Their complete lack of movement was not unusual. That’s what they do unless you get too close.

The tide is out
This boat sits on its trailer, near the bottom of a slope, in a large, manicured yard. Always makes me wonder when it last saw water even though it looks in good shape.
Suspicious green anole
This green anole looked very suspicious when I sneaked up behind it to take its photo.
Signs: Try Go Slow
This sign, on a quiet back road, is a bit of Hawaiian pidgin, a local version of English that is still widely used. Not too hard to figure out what this sign means.
Pueo hunting
I saw this pueo cruising back and forth above the grasslands alongside Old Saddle Road. Sometimes it hovered and moved on, but a couple of times it dove into the grass. Not sure if it caught anything, though they’re quick to swallow any rodents they catch.
Surfboards
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Spring Green.’ See more responses here.
I’m not exactly sure what qualifies as spring green. I found a variety of values online, none of which matched anything in my archives. I went out and took photos, thinking I’d found a match. No dice.
In the end, I noticed these surfboard fins while walking at Kohanaiki Park and thought they made a cheerful scene, in the ballpark of the color I was looking for. Just beyond them was a surfboard under a tree that more or less matched the fins. And while there’s no spring green in the bottom photo, I thought it proper to show surfboards in action. These are only little waves, but there were plenty of surfers waiting to catch a ride.

Clouds over the channel
I saw these clouds piled up over the ʻAlenuihāhā Channel, between the Big Island and Maui, late one afternoon. They look dramatic, though the weather was really quite peaceful.
