For you 😊
A bunch of pink frangipanis with yellow centres basking in the sun, surrounded by emerald green leaves.

Very warm weather, lots of humidity and a fair bit of rain which doesn't chase away the war. The frangipanis are in their element 🩷
Close up of a frangipani in profile. The petals are pale pink with a yellow centre. The petals are dotted with raindrops and the main petal also has 5 drops of varying sizes hanging from it. You can almost see the magnified image of pink petals and green leaves inside the largest raindrop. The background is dark with a couple of emerald blurs of leaves.

When you look up. Then you look a bit closer 👀😄
A building roof made of opaque corrugated sheets supported by industrial beams criss-crossing in a repeating square pattern. Hanging from the roof is a very large fan with six blades frozen mid-turn. The name of the company which makes the fans is "BIG ASS FANS" in capitals.

It's the season of hot, humid days broiling into billowing clouds which darken into storms.
This is from the other night's dry lightning display.
Lightning strike emerges from clouds coloured crimson-purple. Everything else is night-time dark. This is a screenshot from my phone video because I've never figured out how else to capture lightning in real time.

After a rainy/cloud-filled weekend, everyone is glad to see the sun this morning 💗
A frangipani flower with rain-dotted pink petals and yellow centre looks out to a blue sky and bright sun. In the background, the leaves are also stretching eagerly to the sun.

The hello after the goodbyes.
The first pale pink frangipani blossoms, held by branches and bright green leaves, and half splashed by sunlight.

En route after the goodbyes.
A not-quite full moon the colour of paper in a blue sky above a bank of textured clouds coloured apricot with some whispers of purple. The foreground has younger sugar cane fields in green. Between the clouds and the cane fields, a copse of trees dwindling to smaller bushes stand in dark silhouette.

With red seeds/pods.
Looking up at a palm tree with a cluster of red seeds/pods, surrounded by palm tree leaves.

Palm trees
Looking up at three palm trees with leaves flared out like umbrellas against a blue sky. The tree in the centre is holding two great handfuls of green pods of seeds. The seeds/pods go bright red when ready/ripe. I think they're called Christmas palms.

More gecko 💚 Same lil one as the previous post, I think.
Beautiful green gecko in profile halfway up a palm tree, surrounded by other palm tree trunks. It looks like I took the pic in a tropical jungle, but I didn't. Just a regular tropical garden.

Pretty island colours.

Branch with vivid magenta-pink flowers stretching across a bright blue sky with some scattered white clouds. A palm tree in the background.

Anthurium flowers❤️💕 Backdrop to my childhood.

#Bloomscrolling #Memories
Red anthurium flower with green foliage and some large stones in the background. Pink anthurium flower, with the edges slightly curled up, surrounded by large, green anthurium leaves, with another pink anthurium flower hiding in the leaves and an out-of-focus red anthurium flower in the background.

Afternoon sunlight on water.
Turquoise water darkening to dark-blue, meets the blue sky at the horizon. There are some smaller white clouds in the sky and the afternoon sun. The sun is sending a line of sparkles into the water.

Visiting my island home 🩵
Calm lagoon waves rippling onto sand under an early morning sky heavy with clouds. The water is clear up close and has some aqua and blues further away. A bit of half-hearted sun peeping through adds some light and shadows. The coastline curves away out of sight and a group of trees marks the spot where this happens. Far away in the hazy distance, a mountain is visible, in a different shade of blue to the lagoon and the clouds.

Happy Diwali✨️💛✨️

Stopped to get a photo of these pretty lil white flowers. Saw the visitor afterwards in the photo 👀
Pretty, tiny white flowers which are maybe Australian native flowers. A translucent-white spider is enjoying the sun, camouflaged on top of the main bunch of flowers.

I'm so very sad that my awesome Emirates bag (an airline travel gift to LittleOne a couple of years ago), which folds up and has been become indispensable for sports/swimming & even for my recent hospital day trip, had the zip detach today 😭
I don't know how to manage without it 😭😭
A nylon duffel bag from Emirates Airlines. It has bright green sides, zip and handle, while the main panels are decorated with lots of little squares of bright illustrations of faces and places. So useful and I will miss it a lot.

Take a moment to admire the new shoots on the mango tree, until you look closer and closer and realise they're tiny, perfect, amazing flowers.
New growth on a mango tree. Lots of little bobbles of buds in palest green veering into yellow and white, all against the dark green of the long, mature leaves. Close up of one of the new shoots on the mango tree. Pale green stalk, with green beds which open into tiny white/yellow/red-brown flowers. Even more close-up of the tiny, perfect flower blossoms on the news spring shoots on the mango tree.

It's always hilarious when I correctly guess Worldle on the first go 🎉
(Note: Worldle, not Wordle. I've never got Wordle on the first go. Though I live in hope).
A screenshot of today's Worldle game which consists of a smattering of islands. (Worldle is the daily online game where you guess the country by its shape).

Waiting for sunrise
Branches stretching out their leaves
Soft contemplation

#haiku
A dawn sky of mauve lightening into rose then pale gold. A few wisps of taupe clouds linger shyly just above the horizon. In front of them, silhouettes of slender bushes and leaves wait for the sun.

Between the creativity drought and BlueSky signing me out again, sharing this before I forget how to social media.
An Instagram post from eliistender10 which says: Today I learned about a term called a "glimmer". Which is the opposite of a trigger. Glimmers are those moments in your day that make you feel joy, happiness, peace, or gratitude. Once you train your brain to be on the lookout for glimmers, these tiny moments will appear more and more.

The clouds ran across the dusk sky, leaving in their wake, grey, then lilac and pink, then the new moon wearing an orange smile.
Blue-grey dusk sky covered in grey clouds. Trees and floodlights watch. Purple dusk sky fading to light pink partially covered in purpley-grey clouds. Trees and floodlights are still watching. Dark lilac-blue dusk sky with only a couple of charcoal-pink clouds hiding near the left treetops. The trees and floodlights are now saying hi to the smiling moon which has just emerged above the trees.
