The cement works at the port of Kawaihae catches the early morning sun.
Better Days: Outhouse
One of those photos better taken with a telephoto lens, perhaps. This is by the old Civilian Conservation Corps Cabin near the Palila Forest Discovery Trail on the slopes of Mauna Kea.

Pinktail triggerfish
Pinktail triggerfish swim around with a perpetual look of surprise, which I find quite endearing. They’re very cool looking fish, too.
A horse waiting for a carrot
I often see these three horses on my regular walk. Usually they ignore me, but on this day one of them came to the fence and poked its head over the barbed wire. I suspect it was hoping for treats as I’ve seen people providing them. Sadly for the horse, I was a disappointment in this respect and it looked suitably unimpressed. Next day, the three of them were back to ignoring me.

Abstracts: Creature from the depths
A green turtle comes to the surface for air, looking mysterious and somewhat threatening.
Signs: Don’t tease the tiger
This sign can be seen at Pana‘ewa Rainforest Zoo & Gardens in Hilo, and that’s Sriracha pacing behind the fence. I post this because I really want one of those signs. It would be great, give local kids something to think about, maybe even cause the neighbor’s dogs to think twice before pooping in the yard.
The only thing that could improve this sign is to add, ‘or we’ll throw you over the fence.’
