This month’s Sunday Stills color challenge theme is ‘Metallic.’ See more responses here.
The top photo shows a Metallic Skink (Lampropholis delicata), which is also known as Delicate Skink, Garden Skink, Rainbow Skink, and less-flatteringly, Plague Skink. This one was crossing a road, luckily a lightly-traveled one.
The second photo is an orchid with the catchy name of Rhyncholaeliocattleya Shingfong Gold Gem ‘Golden Gem.’
The third photo is shoal of small, silvery fish, which I think are the aptly named Hawaiian Silversides.


Fabulous metals of nature Graham

Nice Graham. I had to check if gold was actually a metal – too long since I did chemistry. It’s a NOBLE metal and all.

These are awesome no metal images, Graham! The skink looks metallic as do the Silverslides! Love the gold in the orchid!
