This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Winter Wonderland.’ See more responses here. These photos were all taken during the winter months, which is wonderful when you think about it!

It’s too warm year-round even for snow globes!

For cooler temperatures, get there early. That way you can snag a picnic table.

It can get frosty here though, at least at the Harbor House restaurant in Kailua Kona.

Puzzle bench

I saw this bench, one of several with a similar design, outside the waiting room featured in yesterday’s post. I wondered if there was some significance in the layout of the wooden pieces, but couldn’t find any. But I thought the design was both practical and attractive, even if the view wasn’t exactly the best.

View from the bench on 1871 Trail

View from a bench on 1871 trail on the South Kona coast in Hawaii.

This is the view from the bench at the top of the Alakaha ramp on the 1871 Trail, which heads south from Pu’uhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park. There was big surf on this day and the trail was getting regular clouds of spray from the breaking waves.

The bench though, sits above all that and also offers some shade. What’s not to like!

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 134. Captions are on the photos.
