Nēnē

Branta sandvicensis, also known as nēnē and Hawaiian goose, is a species of goose found on the Hawaiian Islands. We certainly saw our share. They’re tagged because they’re endangered. I wanted a proper reference photo, and did I ever hit the jackpot with this one on Flickr.

Hybrid Hibiscus at Kuaui’s NTBG

Annyth and I were both enchanted by the conspicuous subject of this iPad painting in Procreate, a hybrid hibiscus at the National Tropical Botanical Garden in Kalaheo, Hawaii on Kaua’i. It was about 12 inches in diameter and had enough texture and color to elicit a deep silence.
