A praying mantis flew into my dormitory one night, this guy was about three inches long. He just perched on the curtain and imitated a leaf by slowly swaying from side to side.
The dormitory where I live. I have a single room on the tenth floor with a great view of Diamond Head, an old crater right on the beach.
A hiking path I took up Makiki Valley recently. The event was a field trip with the rest of the people in my department and a few professors.
The flowers bloom all year here.
Another view from the path, the valley is a picture-perfect rainforest
The view from the top of one of the mountains in Makiki, you can see my campus on the left and the ocean way in the background.

i've never seen those tennis courts before in my life.
i don't know whether the praying mantis's fruitless mimicry of a leaf indoors is awesome or sad.
it gets sadder when you know he stayed there for six hours, waiting for the bugs that never came
