A pueo turns its wide-eyed stare on me. (Link) Colorful lava on a hike in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. (Link) Meeting a manta ray is always a thrill. (Link) A pod of spinner dolphins stopped by my local snorkeling spot. (Link, link) Lāhainā Noon, when shadows disappear in Hawaii. (Link) Shoals of Hawaiian silversides were abundant in the summer. (Link) With no tourists here, Anaeho’omalu Bay was a sea of tranquility. (Link) Some clumpy nudibranchs spent a few weeks in a local bay. (Link) The year ended with a bang when Kilauea Volcano erupted again. (Link)
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Your 2020 Retrospective.’ See more responses here. Also posted in response to Becky’s January Squares challenge theme of ‘Up.’ See more responses here.
In this retrospective I’ve focused on events and photos that were uplifting for me during the difficult year that was. Most of these photos haven’t run before, but were taken at the same time as those in posts that ran in 2020. Links to the original posts are at the end of the captions.
