A good deal of rain was falling onto several pigs running through the yard recently. This one found a little sunshine in the shape of a fallen tangerine, which it carried to the shelter of the cane grass to devour.
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 134. Captions are on the photos.

There’s plenty of rain on the Big Island. Most falls on the wet east side, but the dry west side can get its share too. Hilo, on the wet side, averages around 140 inches of rain a year, and just to the west of Hilo is an area that gets more than 200 inches a year. In contrast, Kawaihae, on the Kohala coast, gets around 10 inches of rain annually, though I suspect last year was one of its wetter ones.
Where I live, on the northern end of the island, we get around 50 inches of rain a year, but being on the shoulder of Kohala Mountain, that figure can change quickly going a mile east or west, or a mile up the hill or down toward the ocean.
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.

I don’t tend to monkey around with photos much, outside the usual cropping, and adjusting color and the like. Still, I had several ideas for this challenge, none of which I liked when push came to shove.
Instead, I settled for these photos, a day and night view of the excellent KO Pizza food truck. The truck operates two days a week in Hawi, but they’re in the process of opening a permanent location in town. Menu planning is about to get much easier!
I saw this sign at a local church school. I understand what they’re getting at, but I confess I found this a bit creepy. I mean, I can’t think of anyone I’ve ever wanted to send a Valentine’s card to that I’ve also wanted to use a nail gun on.
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.
