Going up
A vine climbs a power pole in Hawi. Not sure what the vine is, but it probably won’t get to the top. The power company will see to that.
Just warming up
I drive past the port facility in Kawaihae all the time. Sometimes, in the early morning, I’m there when a second bank of lights are turned on. These lights start out red, but quickly warm up to their normal yellow.
This is a feature of low-pressure sodium lights, which I assumed these are. However, the manufacturer stopped making those lamps five years ago, so I’m not sure. Not that it would be unusual for Hawaii to several years behind the times!
The Numbers Game #17
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. The top photo was one of these and I thought, I must have run this before, but I hadn’t. It turned out to be a photo I’d processed, but neglected to move from my originals folder. Without The Numbers Game, I would never have found this!
This week’s number is 138. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
A purple patch
This week’s Sunday Stills monthly color challenge is ‘Diamond, Quartz, Crystal and/or Purple.’ See more responses here. I’m going with purple because I have nothing for the others! I was going to do another flower array, but then I had a wander around beautiful downtown Hawi and came up with these photos.
Can you figure out what the full sign says?
The tug of the moon
I saw this tug and barge entering Kawaihae harbor early one morning, a couple of days after the full moon.
Horny
I liked this cow’s curly horns, but not enough to get too close!
Sprinklers
I see these sprinklers going on my way home from work, but only if it’s been a long day, as they’re on a timer. Usually I think, I must take a photos of those, but don’t because it’s late, I’m tired, and I just want to get home.
Last week, the same scenario arose and I was driving by, when I thought, ‘I’ll feel better taking the photos than I will rushing home.’ So I stopped, took photos, and did feel better. At least, until I drove past a police car and, looking in my rear view mirror, saw blue light flashing and heard the siren going. Luckily, he was after the car in front of me!
