1,500 souls on board. Cruising the world's oceans, passing by to see the lava flows.

Tourist Loving Hawaii

Ala Moana beach park near Waikiki: Young tourist enjoys the daily fed and trusting birds. Note the jacket: Cold in Hawaii?

Lava Flow and Folks

Lava on the hillside about a mile away, folks in the foreground messing around with their flashlights, half moon overhead, cloud reflection of lava glow at 8 pm. Hawaii.

Critters

Wasp dragging a spider down an 8 foot high embankment, across a two-lane road, up the other side embankment into a hole.

Can you find the critter among the rocks?

The fake big eyes of a caterpillar.

Mele Kalikimaka meka Hauoli Makahiki Hou!

In the holiday spirit, shooting with good friends.

IBIS-Not a Cattle Egret

Jack Jeffrey told me about this bird. Since it was him, it must have been important so I went and shot it. From the net it seems this is a rare bird for Hawaii, that it may have come from a very small population from another island. The beginning of that population may have been from people or by flying from the mainland US. This bird has brown eyes and beautiful colored wings. Hilo, Hawaii Oct 23, 2009.

Mushrooms

I found these mushrooms growing inside some hollow tile blocks laying out in the yard. A couple of weeks after their portraits, they all disappeared.
