This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Winter Wonderland.’ See more responses here. These photos were all taken during the winter months, which is wonderful when you think about it!

It’s too warm year-round even for snow globes!
A picnic table on the beach at Spencer Beach Park in Hawaii
For cooler temperatures, get there early. That way you can snag a picnic table.

      On the contrary, it’s just like regular sand. The green color comes from a high concentration of green olivine crystals in the sand from the cinder cone at the back of the beach.

    As much as I love snowy winters, I won’t say no to a sunny winter day (week? month?) in Hawaii, Graham! The green sand beach looks cool (we didn’t make it there last time)! I LOVE the water globes! How clever! That last pics of the pink sunset is wonderful! Mele kalikimaka to you and your family!

    It’s quite cool and damp here at present, Graham, so you have me mildly jealous. The Algarve experiences winter temperatures around 15C, but it still compares well with the UK. It will be between 6 and 9C there daytime. I will need all those cuddles to keep me warm. Happy holidays xx
