Kohala @kohala.life · 23/08/2026I wonder if there will even be a Naval Academy by the time he’s old enough to go. He has the stance down. 260
Kohala @kohala.life · 18/08/2026Outage map of Hawaii Island as of this morning. Did a from 39,000 yesterday. #Lala 052
Kohala @kohala.life · 18/08/2026Momi is making runs back and forth to Kona for supplies for N Kohala. Others are donating, too. Wow. I might cry a little. 076
Kohala @kohala.life · 17/08/2026Water distribution locations, starting at 3 pm today, Monday. #Lala #Hawaii 063
Kohala @kohala.life · 15/08/2026It can stop with the bands in the channel now. Looks like the Kaunas are otherwise doing their usual. #Lala 040
Kohala @kohala.life · 15/08/2026Nobody stayed overnight at the N Kohala shelter. May see more as the day progresses. Good rain bands down the channel. 371
Kohala @kohala.life · 13/08/2026Not gold but the right size. Can you tell what it is? (Inspired by that yatch refusing to lend aid, despite multiple requests.) 170
Kohala @kohala.life · 03/06/2026Almost worth the last 2 days of monsoon rains for the stream to be so alive! 0251
Kohala @kohala.life · 29/05/2026Turns out I got a nice pic of my favorite reef fish the other day. I thought it was a royal tang, but it's not. No idea what it actually is, but I love the royal blue body and gold stripe around it's eye and body. And the white tail is flashy! 171
Kohala @kohala.life · 30/03/2026The legislature amended the aquarium ban bill to eliminate protection for West Hawaii and to repeal it when new rules are in place. Hawaii residents, send in your testimony to OPPSE these amendments and support the previous version!!!! HB2101 HD1 SB1 SCUM!!! 010
Kohala @kohala.life · 28/03/2026Long, long line of protesters along Aurora Ave in Shoreline, WA. It’s a smallish neighborhood just north of Seattle. About 1000+ out. 1132
Kohala @kohala.life · 22/03/2026The Hawaii Senate has assigned HB 2101 to 4 different committees, which sure seems like a way to kill it. PLEASE send in testimony today asking Senators to permanently ban aquarium collections in West Hawaii! 020
Kohala @kohala.life · 08/03/2026Fish found in a dumpster before the aquarium trade was regulated. A bill to ban it in West Hawaii is coming to the state House floor for a final vote possibly this week. Then to the Senate. It may be permanently ended. #marinelife 4325
Kohala @kohala.life · 23/02/2026A mixed group of reef fish, mostly brown ones of various types. Healthy pinkish cauliflower coral in the bottom right on the rocks. Those corals have recovered nicely, finally, from the 2018 mega-bleaching event. 030
Kohala @kohala.life · 23/02/2026Some tangs from today. And a yellow trumpet fish hanging out with them, about 10 o'clock in the image. (So much to learn) 2270
Kohala @kohala.life · 14/02/2026My daily visitor is stopping by in the mornings now. S/he is definitely looking heftier. I wonder if babies are on the way. 060
Kohala @kohala.life · 12/02/2026This guy and another have been hanging around Mahukona wharf. Very curious about the swimmers. I went swimming today anyway. Oceanic black tip, we’ve been told. Photo from the fabulous Wendy Noritake from Tuesday., her copyright. 🦈 162
Kohala @kohala.life · 30/01/2026This little fellow drops by every day about this time and knocks on the window. Yellow-billed cardinal, supposedly rare-ish, but we seem to have a lot of them in N Kohala. 150
Kohala @kohala.life · 08/01/2026Old lady ski day. I used to take this for granted. Now the mountains knock me out. 020
Kohala @kohala.life · 25/12/2025One of the best Christmases ever. Grands are getting almost old enough to enjoy it. Santa already came tonight. Stockings to open tomorrow. 040
Kohala @kohala.life · 13/12/2025Not only recovered from the sting, but actually doing a mask and snorkel for the first time!!! 010
