Beach Vitex
Beach Vitex (Vitex rotundifolia), or Pohinahina, is indigenous to Hawaii and the west Pacific.
It’s planted in coastal areas such as the one below, because it’s very tolerant of salt, heat, and wind. Posted for Terri’s Flower Hour. See more responses here.

All kinds of storms
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Storm.’ See more responses here.
I’ve gone with a few different kinds of storms starting with a Great Frigatebird or ʻIwa, which is known in Hawaii as a storm bird as they are considered indicators of approaching storms. Below is a rain storm in North Kohala on the road to Upolu.
The next two are scenes at Kawaihae port when the winds are whipping. A dirt storm above and a sand storm below.
Moon set
As the moon sets on another year, I’d like to wish everyone the best for a wonderful 2026!
Pallid Ghost Crab
I was looking for shadow photo opportunities one late afternoon when I spotted this Pallid Ghost Crab on a small beach at Kawaihae. It fit the bill and when they’re stationary a photo is easy to take, but when they move they’re practically a blur!
