White Bengal Tiger

White bengal tiger, Pana'ewa Zoo, Hilo, Hawaii. The tiger's name is Namaste, and was donated to the Pana'ewa zoo by Dirk Arthur, a magician at the Tropicana Resort in Las Vegas. Note, his eyes are not pink as he is not an albino per se. Just white.

Does Everything Grow in Hilo, Hawaii?

Just about everything grows in Hilo. In the areas just above Hilo, it is so wet, even the rock walls of the buildings are sprouting flowers (show here, an impatiens and a boston fern).

Rainbow Falls

Rainbow Falls, Hilo, Hawaii. This huge waterfall is just outside of Hilo and is so named, due to the rainbow visible on sunny days. These falls are somewhat unique among Hawaiian Waterfalls in that the water has carved a huge cave in back of the falls, providing a great backdrop for the mist and rainbows caused by the falling torrents of water.

Egret City

It's random picture night! Hmm... Here's a picture of a tree full of Egrets in Hilo, Hawaii. They were conveniently living right next to the fish farm. Coincidence? I think not. Egrets are generally not known to pass up on a free fish dinner or lunch for that matter. These looked well fed.
