Signs: Jellyfish present
This is the first time I’ve seen signs like this one at Spencer Beach Park. I didn’t see any jellyfish on the beach so perhaps the signs were a warning for those getting in the water. There are often jellyfish in the water, but not in such numbers as to be a problem.
This park is popular with families with small kids so perhaps the authorities were being extra cautious with the signs.
Black-crowned night heron on watch
I saw this adult black-crowned night heron in a watchful pose on the edge of the lagoon behind the beach at Kawaihae. I liked how the stick matches the heron’s colors. It looks like it could be the antenna of the heron’s fish detector instrument.
Paddleboarders
A pair of paddleboarders traverse the bay at Kawaihae. Even I might have managed to stay upright on such a tranquil morning!

Horse riders enjoy an afternoon outing along the coast below Upolu airport.
Abstracts: Wavelets
On a calm morning, little wavelets wash ashore without all the commotion of their bigger relatives.
Setting full moon and red buoy
Early one morning, I stopped to watch the setting full moon and liked how it illuminated this red buoy marking one side of the entrance channel to Kawaihae Harbor.
Hapuna sunset
After a late day at work, I was driving down a hill on the way home when I saw the sun setting behind a line of palm trees. There was nowhere to pull over, so I rolled the window down, angled the car across the center line, got this photo, and then got back on track. I hasten to add that this didn’t occur on the main highway, but on the way down to it, with no other traffic in sight. I’m not that irresponsible. I think.
