Hot cat, no tin roof
Sriracha is one of two tigers at Hilo’s Pana’ewa Zoo & Gardens. It was a very hot day and both tigers were sheltering in the shade of a large stand of bamboo. Luckily, after a while, Sriracha ventured out of the shadows to check out us humans. She didn’t stay long. It was too hot for that.

Coconut Island jump
Coconut Island
I while back I posted (here) that next time I was in Hilo I should visit Coconut Island. Last week I was able to do just that. There’s a footbridge to reach the island, which is small and popular. There are some nice views, though the view of Hilo itself wasn’t as good as I’d hoped.
Tomorrow, I’ll run photos of one of the big attractions on the island!
Seating for one
Another bench from Pana’ewa Zoo & Gardens in Hilo, for Jude’s Bench Challenge (here).
’Io
This ’Io (Hawaiian hawk) is a resident at Pana’ewa Zoo & Gardens in Hilo. Seeing birds in a cage like this is a bit depressing to me, but this is a rescue bird and, because of injuries, it would not survive long in the wild. It did at least give me the chance to see it and appreciate what a majestic bird it is.
A bench at the zoo
What I like about this bench at Pana’ewa Zoo & Gardens in Hilo, is that two can sit on it.

Exhibitors at the Hilo Orchid Show are not above displaying a bit of whimsy!
