Rosy-faced Lovebirds and others feeding in the parking lot of Costco in Kailua Kona, Hawaii

This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Feed the Birds.’ See more responses here.

Just the one photo this week, of a recent encounter at the island’s Costco. These Rosy-faced Lovebirds and others were snacking in the parking lot. I’m not sure whether someone threw this there or accidentally dropped a bag of seed or something similar. Either way, this was the only photo I got because every time I was ready to take another one, a car would come by and the birds would scatter!

Reflecting on flight delays

Reflections in a window at Honolulu airport in Hawaii

These are the kind of photos you take when flights are delayed. Last week, our flight to Honolulu was delayed for 20 minutes because only one runway was operating at our destination due to heavy rain and thunderstorms. Coming back, the flight was delayed twice for reasons that were never explained. The upshot was that, after getting up at 5:30am to make the outbound flight, it was close to 11:00pm before we got home again!

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!

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