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 150. Apart from the top photo, it’s all about plants this week. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
It had been a while since I saw a lizardfish, so I was happy to spot this one recently, perched on the side of a weed-covered rock in the shallows.
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Red, White, & Blue.’ See more responses here.
Here’s my selection this week with captions on the photos.
The Royal Poinciana trees are currently in bloom around here. Their splash of red is instantly recognizable, though the flowers, close up, reveal other colors at work.
I’ve posted before about how gulls are a rarity in Hawaii. I’ve only seen a couple in my time here. But recently, two birds, which I believe are Franklin’s Gulls, have been hanging around the small reservoir near the place where I work.
Usually, the gulls seen in Hawaii are individual stragglers, so to see two together is unusual. The other interesting thing is that the markings of these two appear to be the gulls’ breeding plumage. I wondered if they were nesting up there, but when I went to look, saw no sign of them.
I discovered this Noni growing as a volunteer among the coffee plants. The ants, as usual, had discovered it first.
I saw this sign in Hawi. It’s on a side road leading to a local housing scheme. It won’t be seen by most people passing through the town, but reflects a degree of unease or unhappiness with how things are going in Hawaii, with housing issues being near the top of the list.
