This gutter sported a generous amount of greenery, which probably should be removed. I’ve seen trees growing in gutters and neither party benefits from that arrangement.

Favorites from 2022
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Your 2022 Year-in-Review.’ See more responses here. Like last year, I’ve gone with a favorite photo from each month of 2021, with a caption and link to the post the photo first appeared in.
Hanging by a thread
I saw this nest hanging from the mock orange in the yard. I think it’s the nest of a Japanese White-eye and I’m hoping it’s an old one and didn’t tip any youngsters out to their fate.
Bananas
Nothing says tropical quite like bananas with their huge leaves, upward pointing fruit, and large purple flowers.
Java Glory Vine
Java Glory Vine (Clerodendrum speciosum) hails from Indonesia. I saw this one tumbling from a wall on a hike along the South Kohala Coast.
Gecko on red ginger
A photo taken for the colors and the light!
When is a plant not a plant?
When it’s a bird! This Red Button Ginger certainly looked like a bird, and it was taking a bunch of ants along for the ride.
Hawi
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘In Your Town.’ See more responses here.
I’ve run a couple of Hawi scenes already this past week (here and here) and another earlier in this year (here). But here are a few more scenes from Hawi town.
Kohala Coffee Mill is a social meeting place with coffee, excellent local ice cream, and good food.
Across the street, the Bamboo Restaurant is a popular local restaurant which hosted farmers market stalls during the Covid times (I know, they’re still going on.).
The banyan trees are where the farmers market used to be held every Saturday, and is a popular rendezvous spot. Everyone knows where they are.
Across from the banyans is Nakahara Store, a small local grocery that’s been around a long time.
Hawi is an arty place and some arty types express themselves on their vehicles!
