Stars and Moon At the Bay We went to Kealakekua Bay for a 10 day visit and I was planning an early morning Milky Way shot here the next morning and was trying to figure out the composition. The next morning it turned out I had misread my star app and the Milky way was facing the other way. But at least I got this star and moon shot

Stars and Moon At the Volcano There was an almost full moon while we were at the volcano so it was in the shot here

Sunset and Tsunami Alarm with Stars Several years ago, we were visiting here just as they were finishing building their tsunami alarm system. The night after they got it finished, there was a tsunami and no one was hurt because of the warning!

Will He Land On Our Tree? We've been hoping to attract waterfowl to our farm pond and got our hopes up when this blue heron flew across our yard and landed in a tree. It hasn't stayed though

Anniversary Sunset We went down to the bay for the sunset and this couple was posed perfectly. Later when I offered to send them the shot, we learned they were there to celebrate their 15th anniversary

Black Witch Moth Apparently these are fabled to appear when someone has just or is going to die. we had never seen one before while staying at our favorite Hawaii B and B. The man whose place it was and whom we had adored had died 3 months before. His son who now runs the place said he bet it was his dad back for a visit

Critters for the Babies The first day we were there, Jim noticed that two mynah birds kept flying back and forth from the palm just outside our lanai. we figured there must be a nest. We watched them the whole time we were there. I got this shot of a parent with its beak full of critters after sitting on the step outside the lanai for about an hour. Shooting from inside the lanai was a great hide but the shots all had screening blurring them. It took a long time for the parents to get over feeling spooked by my presence

Family Swim Reedit The last time we were at Kealekua Bay for a vacation, paddleboarders, kayakers, and swimmers were all chasing the dolphins when they came into the bay to sleep. It was horrifying to watch. This year, they made it clear they were going to arrest people who were within 150 ft of them and giving out $600 fines. Since we can no longer swim with them, I decided to go back to old photos I had taken and find one to print for our wall. This is one possible option

Feeding One of the Babies This was taken from inside the lanai through the screening because I didn't want to spook the family. The second to last day before we left, one of the babies showed itself outside the nest

Feeding the Babies Outside the Nest This was taken from inside the lanai through the screening because I didn't want to spook the family. The last day before we left, one of the babies Clearly was about to fledge and two came out of the nest to be fed. The parent went back into the nest later so we figure there was at least one more baby in there

First Rufous of the Year I think the male rufouses in their breeding plumage are stunning. This was shot on our deck
