View from the top road
Looking north from the old Mamalahoa Highway, in the distance is Kohala Mountain on the right and Maui on the left. The black lava curving down to the ocean is the Kaʻūpūlehu lava flow from Hualalai Volcano. This flow, which occurred in 1800/1801, was the last time Hualalai erupted, though the volcano is still considered active.
Spinner dolphins
Near the end of a recent swim I was looking toward shore wondering where the line of breaking waves had come from. Then I heard a snort behind me and turned to see this pod of dolphins zipping by. I always like how the light plays on their bodies as they go by.

The Numbers Game #107
The idea of The Numbers Game is to enter a number into the search bar of your computer and then post a selection of the photos that turn up. This week’s number is 229. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
Anole looking out
