Out and about by Siwa

Some scenes from here and there:
A banana stalk fly (Telostylinus lineolatus) perched on the thorns of a tree at  the Ho'omaluhia Botanical Garden.
A sunset swim.
Lau Pele also known as Edible Hibiscus (Abelmoschus manihot) is a vegetable common on many of the Pacific Islands.  
Red Tilapia in the lake at Ho'omaluhia botanical garden. These fish are so used to people feeding them that they come right to the shore where the water is only a few inches deep.

A note from Diana:
With very few exceptions, every picture on this blog was taken by Siwa.  I want to thank her for tirelessly recording  the world through our family's eyes, and more particularly through her own.  Even though she is no longer a child, she hasn't lost the ability to see life with wonder and appreciation for the smallest of details.  It's as if she goes through life carrying a magnifying glass.  I so admire that in her.  Thanks Siwa for magnifying the world for the rest of us through your lens.
