Wind machine = good. Indy knows how to take advantage of a windy beach day.

#PhotoOfTheDay is this insanely bright-colored gecko, hanging out in at Limahuli Garden & Preserve, National Tropical Botanical Garden, Kauai, Hawaii. Cute little guy!

A colorful gecko, mostly bright green with brown spots and wild blue eyes, sits on a left branch.

Snapshot from the easy life. Anything that gives Indy any bit of worry gets shaken off quickly.

A dog on a beach. The dog is in the middle of shaking his whole body.

It was very exciting to see a humpback whale breach right off the side of our boat. I missed the first breach, or it was actually too close, but he went out and breached again. https://belinda-greb.pixels.com/featured/whale-breaching-off-kauai-belinda-greb.html #humpbackwhale #Kauai

A humpback whale breaching off the shore of Kauai, the ocean around it.

#PhotoOfTheDay is the Kīlauea lighthouse on Kīlauea Point, on the north shore of Kauai.

A lighthouse sits atop a tall spit of land over the Pacific Ocean on a very pleasant day.

I'm not really sure what prompted such a look from Indy.

A dog in a raincoat laying down in a taro field. Stormy clouds and mountains are in the background.

In addition to "adventure," Indy is spending his vacation time resting. We all need to take extra time to rest when we need it.

We were amused that there was a "Lassie" channel on our hotel tv, so naturally, we watched a little before going to bed. Indy seemed intrigued by it.

#PhotoOfTheDay is a taro field on northern Kauai... Hawaii just isn't lush enough, lol!

Taro is a root vegetable and has long been an important staple crop for the Hawaiian people, among many others.

A literal field of green, a taro field with two main sections of taro grows in the foreground. In the background ar a series of hills with cloudy skies above... And pretty much everything blow the sky is GREEN.

#PhotoOfTheDay is of a small section of the eastern shore of Kauai, by the lighthouse.

my parents were boomers who always leaned a little hippy, so naturally we spent a good amount of time visiting Kaua’i when i was a kid, lol. ive hiked, swam, kayaked, open water snorkled, and lodged all over this island. and even when i was little, i was always captivated by this magical place. you have moments there that blur the lines of physical and metaphysical…it’s hard to explain.

this is a photo i took there in 2012…sadly my last visit was in 2017 🥲 overdue for a visit 🖤🌴

In my off season this past fall, I decided to go to Kauai and go backpacking all over the island. Coming from Alaska it was quite pleasant to wear shorts constantly and have good fresh fruit everywhere you went. While I was camping on the west side of the island I decided to pull the camera out and get some Milky Way shots. What I totally forgot about was the #comet C/2023 A3 passing by our planet.

The hooting and hollering that I made when I first looked at the image could be heard for miles.

The upper part of the cloud is lit up from the moon rising behind the island creating a very pleasing image.
I am shooting this on a #sony A7iii with a 20mm f1.8 lens. 30” exposure, iso 1250

#PhotoOfTheDay in which I offer to place a flower behind the ear of a pretty lady, however the flower is nearly as big as her head! It also had the thickest petals I had ever seen, they were like a sheet of rubber.
