This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Scary Animal of the Month.’ See more responses here. I’ve dipped into the archives for this one, which is mostly water shots. What else did you think I meant by the headline? Captions on the photos as usual.

And finally, for all you arachnophobes, a lovely Cane Spider.

Blue Hawaii (lava)

Blue Lava at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Colors of Lava and Black.’ See more responses here. I thought a collection of colorful lava fit the bill. These were taken on two of the trails in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the Kau Desert Trail and the Puna Coast Trail.

Finally, some red lava erupting from Kilauea volcano. I posted a few days ago (here) about the pressurized situation at the volcano when I visited last week. This is a screen shot from one of the live webcams at Kilauea (here). This most recent eruption began a little after three yesterday morning and ended around 6 hours later. I missed it by a week!

Downtown Hawi

The main highway through Hawi is Akoni Pule Hwy., though it looks more like Abbey Road in this photo!

This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Your Home Town.’ See more responses here. Downtown Hawi is only about a block long, but it can be a busy little place, and popular with tourists on their way to and from Pololu Valley.

Life’s a Beach

Spencer Beach Park on the Big Island, Hawaii
Spencer Beach Park is often quiet during the week.

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

I wondered if I had any beach photos, and it turns out I do have a few! Captions on the photos.
