Well red

Ghost plant
Ghost plant (Graptopetalum paraguayense) is a succulent that comes from Mexico. Like many succulents, it does well here in Hawaii, being tolerant of heat and requiring minimal water. This one, though, is actually hardy to below-freezing temperatures.
Abstracts: Patterns in the sand
A large patch of sand is sculpted into patterns by the water movement over it. Sometimes these patterns can last quite a long time. Other times they change from day to day. Sandy areas tend to have less fish activity, but there is one fish in this photo.
These are turbulent times
One of the things I enjoy when snorkeling is watching the turbulence that occurs when swells encounter rocks in shallow water. The trick for this activity is to find a safe spot to observe it without getting caught up in it, and being slammed against the rock.
Late afternoon sun
I posted a similar photo to this one a couple of weeks ago (here), and I was asked if I had a photo with the boat in the stream of light. I did and this is it, with the other below for comparison. I think I still like the original one a hair better.
This way and that
This rather puffed up Zebra Dove was perched on the cable line, looking this way and that, as birds do. I’m always amazed at how they maintain their balance.
Monkeypod flowers
These are the pretty pink flowers of the Monkeypod tree (Albizia saman), a large shade tree that is widespread and very popular in Hawaii.
That look
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Frosty.’ See more responses here.
Since there’s not a lot of frost on the ground around here, I thought I’d go with the frosty look I got when I pointed my camera at this green anole, which currently lives under the eaves.
