Abstracts: Dong Fang
There’s a skydiving business that operates out of Upolu Airport and they have a blue shipping container inside the airport fence where they store gear. One day when I went down there, I saw a second container had been installed next to the first, creating an L-shaped setup.
I liked the logo on the container and took a photo, which was just as well since the next day the container had been repainted to match the other one.
Abstract: Praying mantis
This young praying mantis was perched on an agave attenuata, but its tail-up pose, and the direction of the photo, give at strange appearance.
Abstracts: Fish in a tide pool
A small fish, possibly a blenny, waits in a tide pool. The movement of the water in the pool created the interesting visual effect.
Abstracts: Flowery flounders
Two flowery flounders don’t exactly stand out on a sand and rubble sea floor, but I’m sure you can spot them.
Abstracts: Spiral foliage
The leaves of what I think is philodendron goeldii spiral upward in a distinctive way.
Abstracts: Bloody hermit crab
I think this is a bloody hermit crab, but this was my only look at it. The greenish lump, from which the legs protrude, is not a shell but a lump of rock or old coral.
Abstracts: Swimming pool
