I used something called dry brush effect, in Photoshop Elements, on this photo and I quite like it. In truth, it’s not a lot different than the original, but the contrasts are better.

This bud’s for you
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Celebrate Spring or Autumn.’ See more responses here.
Since we’re a little shy on seasonal changes here, I’m going with some nominal signs of Spring, namely flowers budding out and blooming.
Benches with a view
This bench and table combination at Kawaihae offers good views of Hualalai and the ocean as well as a bit of shade at the right time of day.
Raindrops on moss
Moss growing on the roots of what I think is a Brazilian Firetree (Schizolobium parahyba), growing at Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden.
Has he gone yet?
This Peacock Grouper had scooted under a ledge when I swam by, but I waited and it poked its head out briefly, likely wondering if the coast was clear.
Moon above the airport
Recently, I was headed to Kailua Kona early one morning. The full moon was dipping towards the horizon as I passed the airport there, so I pulled over and took photos, just as a plane took to the air.
The second photo is an example of unintentional camera motion. I’ve no idea what I was doing, but I like the result!
The Numbers Game #64
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 185. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
Polydesma boarmoides moth
I saw this moth on a pair of pants hanging on a line. At first I thought it was the smallest Black Witch Moth I’d ever seen, but further investigation suggests that this is a Polydesma boarmoides moth. I can’t find out much about it though there is a similar moth, Polydesma umbricola, that is a problem on Monkeypod trees here.
After I took the photo, I shooed the moth away and brought my pants indoors before they became moth-eaten.
