Does a spider dream of Waikiki?

It is time for introspection and looking out for things that one may not notice usually. There are always wonderful and deadly(New Corona Virus) things in nature. They humble us and bring us to our knees. We have come a long way from our primitive beginnings, but have we really conquered the world with our superior knowledge.  We probably have made just a little nick in knowing the existing universe.

Here is an arresting picture of the clear skies by Ben Lockett that appeared in BBC's article. The photographer found easy to capture this courtesy of corona virus with no flights spoiling his picture.



Here is my attempt to capture a spider's web on my lilikoi (passion fruit) creeper. I tried to juxtaposition Waikiki in the distance and barely made it.

Have you seen one like this?

We have rainbows very frequently in Honolulu. Hawaii is very appropriately called the Rainbow State.


This island is optimized for rainbows, it seems.

But I have never seen like this one before.


I copied this from BING, my best source for great pictures. This is actually from the Crater Lake National Park from
