I posted a similar photo to this one a couple of weeks ago (here), and I was asked if I had a photo with the boat in the stream of light. I did and this is it, with the other below for comparison. I think I still like the original one a hair better.
This rather puffed up Zebra Dove was perched on the cable line, looking this way and that, as birds do. I’m always amazed at how they maintain their balance.
These are the pretty pink flowers of the Monkeypod tree (Albizia saman), a large shade tree that is widespread and very popular in Hawaii.
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Frosty.’ See more responses here.
Since there’s not a lot of frost on the ground around here, I thought I’d go with the frosty look I got when I pointed my camera at this green anole, which currently lives under the eaves.
I came across this bull a while back on one of my walks. At that time, the area had not had rain for ages and the fields were dry and barren. I don’t know whether that was the cause for its demise or whether something else was happened. Either way, the cattle egrets weren’t too bothered, checking out the corpse for insects. The bull was gone the next day, and not because it got better.
Early morning at Spencer Beach Park with one of the campsites seen under a full moon.
The humpback whales are back in force as we approach the middle of the whale watching season. I’ve been seeing them regularly on my walks along the coast. These two adults were making their way westward in no particular hurry.
I saw this mourning gecko on the lanai tiles of my neighbor’s now empty house. Mourning geckos are mostly nocturnal, but are sometimes seen during the day, though usually not in such an exposed location. This one is a female. I say that with some confidence because almost all mourning geckos are females. They reproduce by parthenogenesis, which is where an egg or sperm doesn’t have to combine with another egg or sperm for an embryo to develop.
