I liked how this goat blended in to the scrubby bushes as it kept a watchful eye on me.

Seeing these clumps of seaweed in a tide pool was like looking down on a forest.

In the foreground, a reservoir bordered by some kind of waterproof lining. Then a dirt bank and beyond that, the Pacific Ocean and blue sky.

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.
