I saw these three feral cats at Kawaihae Small Boat Harbor. They were giving me the kind of look you see in horror movies, but seemed placid enough. None have clipped ears, indicating they’ve not been spayed or neutered, though it’s possible they’re young enough to have not been rounded up yet. Either way, we don’t look likely to run out of cats here any time soon.

In the middle, Pu’ukohola Heiau dates back to 1790, when King Kamehameha built it to fulfill a prophecy that an ongoing war would end and he would rule all the Hawaiian islands.
And in the foreground is a container that is clearly young!

It’s a color photo, but the subject, a patio parasol, is black and white.

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 156. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.







A Giant Porcupinefish waits patiently while a Hawaiian Cleaner Wrasse gets to work. Cleaner wrasses remove dead tissue, parasites and mucus from fish of all sizes that visit their cleaning stations. Watch out for those spines!

Just the one this week, a skydiver about to be reunited with solid land, hopefully not too abruptly.

And the answer is, ‘Yes, I am eating French fries and no, you can’t have any.’
