Signs: Danger

Apparently, this sign didn’t take its own advice.

Sailboat on a mooring buoy

I liked how, in this predominantly blue scene, the burgundy sail covers of this catamaran matched the mooring buoy it was attached to off the South Kohala coast.

Colorful sea creatures

The ocean is full of strange, but colorful sea creatures including these seen in the sheltered waters of Kawaihae.

Abstracts: Something in the water

I love the patterns in shallow water and it’s a bonus when something, such as this turtle, add a twist to the image.

Going down

Steps lead into the water at Kawaihae Hawaii

These robust steps lead into the water at the small park between the Port of Kawaihae and its small boat harbor. They’re nice and wide so surfers can get in and out on their way to the surf break in the vicinity. I was hoping that a large shape might pass by the steps, which is not unreasonable since there are a lot of sharks in this area.

Home for the holidays

This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Vacation or Staycation.’ See more responses here.

I can’t remember the last time I actually went anywhere on vacation so I’m opting for staycation, which is staying home for your holidays. In Hawaii, a fine staycation doesn’t require a great deal to make it work.

A nice beach is a good start. Some shade, either from trees or a decent portable canopy. Tables and chairs are a plus, or a convenient branch to sit on. A variety of coolers suitably stocked are welcome, a barbecue even better. And of course, some warm sunny weather and calm blue waters make it a staycation to remember.
