This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Afloat.’ See more responses here. Let’s start with boats.

But they’re not the only floating things.

The Numbers Game #31

A pueo snags a meal. A favorite encounter of mine, the original post ran here.

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 152. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.

Winging it

This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Wings.’ See more responses here. Let’s start with the birds.

There are many winged insects too.

You can also find wings in the water

And there are other wings too.

The Numbers Game #30

Park yourself here

The coast at Punalu’u Black Sand Beach Park in Hawaii
Punaluu Black Sand Beach Park, on the southern coast of the island, not only has a black sand beach, but also turtles like the one in the photo. OK, it looks like a rock, but it’s there!

This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘State and local parks.’ See more responses here.

Sifting through a ton of park photos, it was the island’s beach parks that came out on top. It’s possible to get in the water at all of these, though some require more caution than others.
