We seem to have some vog in the channel between Maui and the Big Island lol. Hi over there! #Hawaii

The big island as seen looking SE from the summit of Haleakala. The island volcanoes are wrapped in a thick layer of volcanic haze, or vog

Kittywampus found a gecko on the other side of a closed window and spent a solid minute trying to figure out the correct angle of approach so that the Mysterious Clear Barrier would no longer impede the attack. He was unsuccessful at this attempt in trans-dimensional pouncing, alas.

Kittywampus has decided we have a contract. He will eat his kibble, provided he gets a treat as an appetizer. After he eats his kibble, he gets another treat as a reward for eating food. We probably never should have exposed him to Maui Cattle Co beef chips for dogs and cats.

In case you were curious how similar the Great Egret and Great Blue Heron are in size, these two lined up perfectly for comparison. Apparently it was a desirable fishing spot #birds 🌿

A large gray heron stands in shallow wetlands, looking down towards the water. A large white after stands behind it in almost the same pose they are very similar in size. The heron’s beak is bigger and chunkier.
