Saw this little critter basking in a flower-pool on our walk through the Hawai’i Tropical Bioreserve and Garden. I believe it is a Gold Dust Day Gecko, which is indeed the species that a certain insurance mascot is based on. Coincidentally, the botanical gardens are about fifteen minutes north of Hilo, HI. Absolutely worth the trip; I’m still sorting through the photos and will have many more to post.

Mauna Kea, Hilo, Hawaii Thanks to Mauna Kea Summit Adventures and our excellent guide Maka. Caught an amazing sunset at nearly 14,000 feet, then had a great stargazing session with two 11″ scopes.
