This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Ten.’ See more responses here. January of 2016 was the first full month for this blog, so I thought I’d post a few photos that ran back then.

Dendrobium Blue Twist
I think orchid looks more purple than blue, but it certainly has the twists.

Anole looking out
I was getting quite the look from this anole. It’s a Green Anole in it’s brown coloration, though clearly not for blending in with the background!
Planters
This week’s Sunday Stills color challenge is ‘Aquamarine or icy blue.’ See more responses here. I’ve gone with the icy blue option with some planters I saw at the airport in Kailua Kona.
Natal grass
I think this is Natal grass (Melinis repens). It’s native to southern Africa and is considered something of a weed in many other places, including here. It still looked beautiful on this early morning.

The Numbers Game #106
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 228. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
A Green Turtle says hello
On a recent swim, I’d just seen one turtle swim by, when I turned and saw this turtle approaching. It was quite small, which I like because it means they’re younger and often more curious. The other plus is that their shells are usually in great condition. This one’s certainly was, and the light was such that it positively glowed.
The turtle came quite close, then decided I wasn’t interesting after all and slid away, following the other turtle.
A look back at 2025
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Year in review.’ See more responses here. As usual, I’ve picked a photo from each of the past 12 months and included a link to the original post.
