Sparkling waters
This week’s Sunday Stills color challenge theme is ‘Diamonds and Quartz.’ See more responses here.
I stopped in Kawaihae to take photos of a very moody sky with some sparkling waters beneath it. But this was the first time I’ve seen the lovely little beach in the foreground. I’m not sure how one would access it, as it’s a steep drop off from where I stood, but I think it would be possible to come around that little point to the left.

Koki’o ‘Ula’Ula is a native hibiscus which is rare in the wild, but available in nurseries. This one is a bit past its prime. I’ll have to go back to where I saw it at Kohanaiki to see if I can get a more robust bloom. Posted for Terri’s Flower Hour. See more responses here.
The Numbers Game #119

Airstream reflections
A few days ago I posted (here) a reflection in an Airstream trailer in Kawaihae, which is the home of Seabird Coffee. Here’s a photo of the entire trailer with more extensive reflections.
Bar chart
I know it’s not an arty description, but this reminded me of a bar chart or perhaps city skyscrapers.
