Late afternoon light streams through lowered blinds to create this pattern on the lace curtains inside.

Better Days: A worn out view
A view of the ocean as seen through a trailer, shot through with rust and perhaps a few bullet holes.
Abstracts: Footprints
I came across these footprints on a dusty path where early morning dew had darkened the high spots. At least, I think that’s what’s going on.
Abstracts: Morning webs
I was on the west side of Mauna Kea, at around 7,500 feet, when I saw these lines all over the ground. I don’t know what they are. I doubt they’re spider webs, though they look like it. If they’re trip wires, they didn’t work. But I did like how they caught the early morning sun, which had just cleared the edge of the volcano.
Abstracts: A softer, gentler firehose of lava
One last photo from my trip to see the firehose of lava from Kilauea Volcano gushing into the sea. I tried a few longer exposures and I particularly like the effect of this one. More lava photos here.

Better Days: Hawaiian garden spider
I came across this brightly-colored Hawaiian garden spider, the female of the species, in the late afternoon of a windy day. Her web shows debris that’s been blown in and likely encounters with bugs large and small. The web looks like it’s on its last legs and indeed it is because, at the end of the day, this spider will eat her web (or what remains of it) and start afresh in the morning.
Abstracts: Green anole on wire
I posted once before here about how green anoles head back and forth from the house on the cable and power lines. This is a photo of one of them as seen from below.
Abstracts: Albizia tree and other foliage
