This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Sweet.’ See more offerings here.
In my part of the Big Island, plumerias are starting to bloom in their curious way where the flowers appear on the tree before the leaves. In warmer parts of the island, plumeria trees are already thick with flowers and leaves. But in all cases, the flowers are redolent with a sweet perfume.
I like this photo because the blooms in this cluster are at different stages, from the tightly-curled buds at bottom right to the fully-open bloom at top left. But my attention was drawn to the flower unfurling in the center, all shadows and light and dappled with raindrops.
Also posted in response to Bushboys Last Photo for January 2020 challenge. See more responses here.

Maybe next time you’ll have the last one on the card

Now that I know about your challenge, I’ll be paying more attention to that.

Maybe the date may be fluid so folks don’t have a fab shot at the end of the month 😀 😀

Thanks for joining in Graham. I love the scent of plumaria called frangipanni here. Mine are almost finished flowering

Not sure if this was the last thing I shot, but it’s certainly the last thing I saved. I know them as frangipanni too, but here they”re plumeria. They smell wonderful whatever the name.
