It’s frosty up there
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Frosty.’ See more responses here.
I don’t see a lot of frost here in Hawaii, but the top of Mauna Kea is almost always cold. When I was up there last year, there was some snow on the ground and the freezing wind was whipping.
It’s much more comfortable to view the chilly scene from the warmth and comfort of the lowlands. Zooming in on my camera is close enough to the real thing!
Hawaiian Flagtails
A while ago, I posted about Hawaiian Flagtails living in the shallow surge zone of the reef (here). Recently, I came across this scene, where a small school of these fish had ventured out a bit, so I got a better look at them.

Early morning at Hapuna Beach
Hapuna Beach is rightly known for its long stretch of smooth sand and inviting water, but there are rocks to be found there. I think they add a bit of character.
Grill
The grill of a large Toyota truck and, yes, I am writing this in a deep, gravelly voice!
The Numbers Game #60
The idea of The Numbers Game is to enter a number into the search bar of your computer and then post a selection of the photos that turn up. This week’s number is 181. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
Big and brown
This young bull gave me a watchful look as I took photos over a flimsy-looking fence, but it quickly lost interest in me, and returned to grazing. Check out those flies!
