This week’s Friendly Friday challenge theme is ‘Raindrops.’ (See more responses here.) It was convenient therefore that today, just as I finished waxing some metal parts, a shower of rain passed over. The raindrops beaded up nicely on the shiny surface.

These little fish were swimming back and forth in the golden pools of Keawaiki. The gold color comes from a kind of algae that grows in the pools.


I just liked the image of the half moon perched atop these power lines.

A lone patch of coral stands out on the sandy ocean floor. Such areas tend to have less fish, presumably because they are more exposed. On the plus side, anything that is swimming in such areas is easier to spot.

When I went out to see the last lunar eclipse, I noticed these lights bobbing in the ocean just off the coast. My guess is that they belonged to people spear fishing, or possibly in kayaks or a small boat. Regardless, I liked the abstract patterns the lights made.


A view of an old 1978 Peterbilt truck. If the truck were moving, it would be my last view, but this one was stationary. Phew!

A photo of a leaf of a monstera plant, probably monstera deliciosa, also known as the Swiss cheese plant. No prizes for figuring out why that is.
