This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Eerie.’ See more responses here.
These birds were on the ground when I approached, but then took to the air in unison. They quickly landed on the fence and overhead wires and it became eerily quiet again. I immediately thought of the Hitchcock film, and hastened on.
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 165. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.

I rarely post for Clare’s Share Your Desktop (here) for the simple reason that I rarely change my desktop image. But a couple of days ago, I was snorkeling off Honoka’ope Beach (commonly known as 49 Black Sand Beach) at Mauna Lani Resort and ran into this little fellow.
The turtle was probably around 18 inches long, head to tail, and in great condition, with a beautiful shell that glowed as it caught the light. Being a younger turtle, it was also quite curious, having not yet learned that people are pretty dull, clumsy in the water, and possibly dangerous. It stuck around for several minutes, coming quite close on a couple of occasions, before easing away, out of view.
I took half a dozen photos and any of them would have made a good desktop image, but the top one is the one that I’m currently running with.

This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Leaves and Trees.’ See more responses here.
This is a look at the Mango tree in my yard. It’s more than 40 feet high and has a diameter of 50 feet or more. The top photo was taken about a week ago. The first photo in the gallery below was taken a week before that. The new leaves are red, but quickly turn a glossy green. Older leaves are dark green.
The tree will eventually bloom with clusters of small creamy flowers, followed by clumps of fruit, much to the delight of the wild pigs here. Mind you, they have to be careful, as do I, because, when the wind blows, branches fall from the tree, some of them big enough to do damage.
I stopped by K.O. Pizza in Hawi the other night for a couple of slices. This neon illuminates one wall of the entrance.
