A Humpback Whale hits the water off Hawaii

This week’s Sunday Stills color challenge theme is ‘White.’ See more responses here.

I’m going with this big splash of whitewater. But how did it get there? The splash was the finale of the sequence in the slideshow below.

Seeing this Humpback Whale in the air was a lovely follow up to the magical encounter, a couple of weeks ago, with a Humpback Whale in the water (here).

The idea of The Numbers Game is to enter a number into the search bar of your computer and then post a selection of the photos that turn up. This week’s number is 176. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.

Signs at the banyan trees in Hawi, Hawaii

If only there was another sign! That would help me understand. Needless to say, people walk their dogs here, or just hang out under the giant Banyan trees, without repercussions. I think the main purpose of the signs is in case someone does themselves a mischief. Then the property owner can claim the miscreants were trespassing.
