I thought I’d seen the last of a large undulating eel when it slid under a ledge, but it re-emerged, only to slide into a crease in this patch of coral. The tail was visible for a short while, giving me this final peek, until that too disappeared.

Another post on the theme of ‘Rounded,’ this week’s WordPress photo challenge.
This formation caught my eye, reminding me of the rounded bluffs of the Southwest. This bluff, though, is just bluffing. It’s the result of heavy rain on a large patch of silt and dirt, in an erosion control area.

A final post on the theme of ‘Glow,’ this week’s WordPress photo challenge.
An electric substation in the late afternoon light. I like these kinds of facilities with their metal frames, wires, and boxes with the Frankenstein-like insulators on top. Grab hold of those wires, and I’d glow too.

Abstracts: Jellyfish
Every so often, when I go snorkeling, the water is full of small pink filament-like things. Swimming through them leaves me feeling slightly itchy and I’ve been told they’re baby jellyfish. A few days ago, in amongst these little pink blobs was a somewhat larger one, still only an inch or two long, but definitely a jellyfish.
This was the best photo I got, but I liked how the water swirled around above it with the pink-rimmed hole looking like it might just have beamed the jellyfish down.
Abstracts: Yellow-spotted Amazon river turtles
This pair of yellow-spotted Amazon river turtles were waiting for something at Pana‘ewa Rainforest Zoo & Gardens. Perhaps they were plotting a breakout, figuring out how to cut through the mesh, before making a plod for it.

These little fish were swimming in Kiholo Bay. Freshwater springs bubble into the water here and give it its milky coloring.
