I found this grasshopper cautiously climbing the slick surface of my truck’s windshield. I like the grasshopper’s reflection, as well as those of the truck’s surroundings.

Abstracts: Do I smell a rat?
Not sure how abstract this is, but it made me look twice. I was just about to walk under a shed roof when I noticed this. The rat was still very much alive so I gave it a wide berth.
Abstracts: Pahoehoe lava
This is ropey pahoehoe lava. It’s formed when a flow meets a small barrier, pushing up a small rope-like ridge, which cools, causes a new rope to form, and so on.

Abstracts: Tide pool color
Water ripples in a colorful tide pool.
Abstracts: Irrigation
Irrigating the pastures of North Kohala. The water comes from the Kohala Ditch, an irrigation channel that runs from the northeast side of Kohala mountain to the dryer northwest end. The ditch was constructed back in 1906 to bring water to the sugar cane fields. These days the water goes to the many agricultural activities in the area.

Abstracts: What kind of wood is this?
That would be mud wood. It’s actually the surface of a muddy puddle on a dirt road not long after a Jeep drove through.
Abstracts: Tide pool colors
