I was getting quite the look from this anole. It’s a Green Anole in it’s brown coloration, though clearly not for blending in with the background!

A Green Turtle says hello
On a recent swim, I’d just seen one turtle swim by, when I turned and saw this turtle approaching. It was quite small, which I like because it means they’re younger and often more curious. The other plus is that their shells are usually in great condition. This one’s certainly was, and the light was such that it positively glowed.
The turtle came quite close, then decided I wasn’t interesting after all and slid away, following the other turtle.
Zebra Dove
This Zebra Dove was watching the world go by. It looked a bit dishevelled and was, perhaps, a younger bird.
Better watch out
I was hoping this bull would come towards me and/or lift its head up. Instead it kept eating, kept its eye on me, and kept its distance.

Monday Portrait: Selfie
You know me. I gotta be in every photo I take, including this one, heading down to swim at Lapakahi. Yes, my legs are that long!

Reclining cat
I spotted this cat in Kapaau doing a spot of cleaning before settling down on the conveniently provided recliner.
’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.
