Following up yesterday’s Christmassy post, this image made me think of Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer. In fact, it’s not the nose, but the tail light of a Honda Metropolitan scooter, glinting in the afternoon sunshine.

What? Too early? This photo is from last Christmas, a wooden tree outside a local art gallery, with its bright illumination.

In the heart of downtown Hawi, there’s a telephone pole surrounded by tradescantias. This is where Blake, a local resident, has his unofficial art gallery. The display changes quite frequently, but can always be relied upon to feature bright colors.

Wild turkeys aren’t too bright. This one rushed across the road to catch up with the rest of the flock that had scurried across before I could get my camera organized. As to why the flock crossed the road, I don’t know. Perhaps they were following chickens.

I was in the water, looking up at the lighthouse north of Lapakahi, and trying to get a photo of the sun behind the light. I was swimming back and forth, to get the sun and light lined up, while the sea whooshed back and forth in a quite shallow area. Results were mixed as they say, but I liked this image which has a bit of a Halloween feel to it.

This is a holdover from the last Becky’s Squares challenge. I went with a different soupçon for that, but this one works for the current theme of ‘Bright,’ with that orange shirt standing out against the blue expanse of the ocean. (See more responses here.)
The seventh and final installment of my rainbow colors in response to Becky’s April Squares challenge theme of ‘Bright.’ (See more responses here.) ‘Violet’ also happens to be this week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme, which is what gave me the rainbow series idea in the first place. (See more responses here.)
My last rainbow spans the main highway to North Kohala. This is a good spot to see rainbows in the afternoon. It’s cloudy and wet toward Kohala Mountain on the right, sunny and dry down by the coast on the left.
This phalaenopsis orchid falls somewhere in the violet/purple range. This was another instance where I looked up the official RGB color values for violet and found quite a range of possibilities.
The final photo has a Japanese white-eye sampling the good things on offer in a Japanese aloe flower, backed up by a bold and bright splash of violet bougainvillea flowers.
I came across this scene on a recent coast walk, a youngster hanging over the edge of this bright yellow raft, looking to see what’s going on below.
