Reminds me of the chigger bites I sometimes get while out doing insect macros.  ☹️

Lets not talk about chiggers, please. 8 years old and you couldn’t put a finger anywhere on my body without touching a chigger bite. I ran a fever from them. All because my blanket blew off the clothesline and lay in the chigger weeds for hours. (Those little purple flower weeds) henbit.

Lisa,

 

Looks like you did your Makapau'u Beach hike on November 7th, I did my hike of Makapu'u Head and the Kaiwi State Scenic Shoreline November 14, a week later..

The winter rains have sure turn the hills green!

Used to work for this company, a tad later than in1899 however, and they had moved on, making diesel, rather than steam, engines! Like many of my previous employments, after I left the place closed down, the factory was demolished, and in this case the very ground excavated to build a marina.....  Such is the state of what was engineering in the UK.

I just checked my IPhone camera roll and I was at Makapu’u on November 26th. It seems to rain just about every night!

@Lisa My bad on the wrong date, Last few weeks the weather on Oahu has been Amazing! I did a hike up Kuliouou on Monday and you could see the islands of Moloka'i, Lanai and MAUI! A very rare occurrence!

But before this stint of good weather it was a dreary soggy mess, The lighting storm above was taken on November 18th. The BOOMING thunder woke me up so what does a stock photographer do? ... 😀

Not the most exciting thing I've ever photographed, but special because it's only the second time in 40 years that I've seen/photographed this shrimp (that looks more like a crayfish). Plus, it's the only image of this species on Alamy. Not many elsewhere either! So very thrilled to have actually found it. And got a half decent shot too. Shrimp is about 1cm long.

I can't figure out how to post these so they don't look squashed in the tablet and phone views, sorry.

Don't know if there's a way but if I turn my Android phone sideways (landscape) they're fine. I see a lot like that.
