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.

On a recent walk, I noticed a lot of bees about. When I poked my head through a hedge I saw this hive, which was where they were heading to, or coming from. I think this might be the first hive I’ve seen here, though I know there are a lot on the island. They’re just not in places where people tend to walk by, which is probably a good thing!

Hawaii Island Retreat sits on a steep cliff on the windswept North Kohala coast. There are a couple of public access trails leading down to the coast there. One passes in front of the main building and this is where this swing can be found.
I think I could be happy rocking back and forth there for an hour or two or three, and disembark a more balanced and contented individual!
