One of the new features at Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden is a butterfly hut. In it are rows of chrysalises and, after the appropriate time, newly-emerging Monarch Butterflies. I took this photo to capture one such, but somehow, neither the butterfly or chrysalises can be distinguished. Instead, there’s reflections and layers of plants and mesh and glass at different levels, which I rather like.
Taking a photo of this Caribbean Agave, the important thing is not to lean over too far!
This week’s Sunday Stills color challenge theme is ‘Purple.’ See more responses here. Captions on the photos.
I just think there’s something unreal about this. It looks like an arts installation or a Christmas decoration, rather than a plant. Not that I mentioned this at the time. It looks like it might respond badly.
Recently, I was headed to Kailua Kona early one morning. The full moon was dipping towards the horizon as I passed the airport there, so I pulled over and took photos, just as a plane took to the air.
The second photo is an example of unintentional camera motion. I’ve no idea what I was doing, but I like the result!

Electrical fittings in a box. I liked the pattern!

I see the eyes of a lion. What do you see?
