This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Celebrating Earth Day.’ See more responses here. Here are a couple of photos from the last Hilo Orchid Show.
This Earth is the only one we have, so we should take care of it. After all, we’re all in the same boat.

A view of the Wainaku Street Bridge in Hilo with the Wailuku River flowing beneath it.
Umauma stream runs into the ocean on the east side of the island, several miles north of Hilo. I’d never seen this stream, or the waterfalls on it, because I was always driving when going over the bridge, which gave this view. On this occasion, I stopped after crossing the bridge and walked back to take photos. The stream and falls were running strong because of recent heavy rainfall.
There are three falls on the stream, which can be viewed by visiting a botanical garden in that area. One of them is visible at the top of the photo, on the right. The water flowing in from the left side of the photo is a smaller subsidiary stream.
I like the exotic look of slipper orchids. Posted for Terri’s Flower Hour. See more responses here.
I think orchid looks more purple than blue, but it certainly has the twists.
