I came across this near the end of my walk yesterday. Definitely a contender for the weirdest photo I’ve ever posted.

Safety first…and last
May sees the welcome return of Becky’s Squares. This month’s theme is Move Forward, Reconstruct, Renew, and/or are Burgeoning (see more responses here). I couldn’t resist starting with this one, if only for the headline.
Vehicles in Hawaii are required to pass a safety inspection every year. This sticker is put on when the vehicle passes and also indicates when it will need to be renewed. This one is good for another eight months.

Down the tube
Yesterday, we removed the fuel hose storage tube off our old Peterbilt truck, to clean it. This is the view down it.

Angry fish
First time I’ve noticed this in downtown Hawi. That means it’s either new, or my powers of observation are continuing their steady decline! The fish doesn’t seem to be associated with any kind of business. It’s just there for decoration. Maybe that’s why it looks so angry.

Wires
I was wandering the neighborhood looking for photo opportunities and liked the sky with its puffy clouds. I thought the wires along the main highway into Hawi provided a good contrast.

Lurking
I had to go back a few days for my photo for Bushboy’s Last on the Card photo challenge (see more responses here). It proved to be this praying mantis lurking on a plumeria flower stem.
Lenticular clouds
A low pressure system northwest of Hawaii has drawn up a tropical moisture from the south, resulting in some wild weather, including much needed rain. Some of the cloud formations have been pretty impressive, too.

Getting the look
My regular swim these days, passes through the territory of the local Great Barracuda ohana. It’s quite common for them to gather in the wake of swimmers, mostly I think, in case the swimmers are spear fishing and might snag something they can steal.
Last week, this barracuda approached me from the front and gave me quite the look, but since it was no more than a foot long, I wasn’t too concerned.
A couple of days ago, I had a similar encounter with a similar-sized fish. This time the barracuda approached from dead ahead and only turned away at the last minute.
Had either of these been one of the giants, which can be three or four feet long and much bigger around, I’d probably have been wetting myself!
