Early morning sunrise capture of the sky. The early morning mist helped in focusing and taking this shot as the sun was not bright enough.
The leaves of the tropical tree and the palm tree looked very nice in fine details as you zoom into the picture. Also the sunlight is reflected on the lake waters

One of the most beautiful beaches in Australia, Whitehaven is a sublime 7 kilometer slice of white silica sand and turquoise sea. Located at the northern end of Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island, Hill Inlet Lookout is one of the jewels of the Australian landscape.
No two visits to Hill Inlet are the same. As the tide flows, so does the sand, capturing swirling patterns in the turquoise waters. From the air, it looks like an abstract watercolour painting.
Scientific name: Triplaris americana
Popular names: Anthill, Ant's stick (Pau-de-formiga), Taquari

The Ant's stick a majestic tropical tree, which impresses with its size and exuberant flowering. Its canopy has a columnar to pyramidal shape, with a rectilinear, elegant and hollow trunk, sheltering ants inside, in an interesting symbiotic relationship. The wood is light, of low density and the bark is gray and slightly cracked. The leaves are large, oval and simple.
Because it is a dioecious species (separate sexes), the Ant's stick has male and female individuals, which are clearly differentiated during flowering. The female plants have erect inflorescences, with showy reddish-pink flowers, while the males have greyish, tapered, long and pendent inflorescences. Flowering occurs in winter and early spring and is quite durable.
The Ant's stick has fast growth and its size varies from 8 to 20 meters in height. Despite its large size, it does not have aggressive surface roots, and can be planted on sidewalks free of electricity.
A typical tree of riparian forests, the Ant's stick prefers to be planted near watercourses or lakes, where it benefits from soil moisture. It can be grown in drier and more drained places, but in this case it requires regular irrigation.
The title adopted from "Life is just a bowl of cherries"
This song in Broadway Show, "Fosse" which I saw

Lyrics
Life is just a bowl of cherries
Don't take it serious
Life's too mysterious
You work, you save, you worry so
But you can't take your dough
When you go, go, go
Keep repeating, it's the berries
The strongest oak must fall
The best things in life to you were just loaned
So how can you lose what you never owned
Life is just a bowl of cherries
So live and laugh at it all
Keep repeating, it's the berries
You know the strongest oak has got to fall
The sweet things in life to you were just loaned
So how can you lose what you never owned
Life is just a bowl of cherries
So live it, love it, wriggle your ears
And think nothing of it, you can't do without it
There's no two ways about it
You live and you laugh at it all
"Lychee is a monotypic taxon and the sole member in the genus Litchi in the soapberry family, Sapindaceae. It is a tropical tree native to the Guangdong, Fujian, and Yunnan provinces of Southeast and Southwest China, where cultivation is documented from the 11th century."
So, if you haven't tried this fruit yet, do so, you won't be disappointed it. :-))
What can I say... this rosy realm is simply beautiful!
The Bauhinia Tree is also called the Orchid Tree. Imagine looking out of their front door and seeing a tree simply covered with these glorious blossoms!
I love the delicate creamy stamens on their rosy filaments and the play of light and shadow they create on the pink and rose veins of its petals.

Piscidia piscipula, formerly also called Piscidia erythrina and commonly named Florida fishpoison tree, Jamaican dogwood, or fishfuddle, is a medium-sized, deciduous, tropical tree native to the Greater Antilles (except Puerto Rico), extreme southern Florida (primarily the Florida Keys) and the Bahamas, and the coastal region from Panama northward to the vicinity of Ocampo, Tamaulipas, Mexico.
The native Taino of the West Indies discovered extracts from the tree could sedate fish, allowing them to be caught by hand. This practice led to the tree's common names—fishpoison and fishfuddle. The tree has medicinal value as an analgesic and sedative.
The generic name is Latin for "fish killer", and the specific epithet is Latin for "little fish".

These lizards are not bigger as a little finger. They are very curious and love licking the resin of these tropical trees.

The bark marpissa (Marpissa muscosa) is a common spider in the Netherlands, belonging to the jumping spiders that can regularly be found indoors. The male grows to 6 to 8 mm, while the female reaches 8 to 13 mm. She prefers to stay on sunny vertical surfaces such as trees or poles, provided there is a hole nearby where she can quickly crawl away in case of danger. The prey is stalked and then pounced on. Like all jumping spiders, the bark marpissa has extremely well-developed eyesight. Of the eight spider eyes, two, the anterior middle eyes, are much larger than the others. The posterior side eyes are set far back, they are visible on the image on the cephalothorax between the implants of legs I and II. The bark marpissa is the type species of the genus Marpissa.

This was shot the last night I spent in Kauai before going home the next day. Besides the missed sunset along the Napali Coast because of rain, I never ventured to any of the beaches on the southwest side of the island to photograph the sunset over the ocean.
Right before the sun went down on this last night, I just walked outside my condo and took this and some other photos along the banyan tree lined drive into the resort.

Plumeria.
Plumeria, also called frangipani, are fast growing, tropical trees with vibrant blooms and the most extraordinary fragrance. The scent of plumeria wafting on a summer evening breeze is early proof of Heaven!
Plumeria have naturalized so well in Hawaii, many visitors assume it must be native to the isles. Plumeria is native to the Caribbean islands and the mainland of Central America, and grows widely throughout Asia and India.
The curry tree (Murraya koenigii) or curry leaf tree is a tropical to sub-tropical tree in the family Rutaceae (the rue family, which includes rue, citrus, and satinwood), and is native to India. Its leaves are used in many dishes in the Indian subcontinent. Often used in curries, the leaves are generally called by the name curry leaves although they are also actually sweet neem leaves in most Indian languages. It is a small tree, growing 4–6 m tall, with a trunk up to 40 cm diameter. The aromatic leaves are pinnate, with 11–21 leaflets, each leaflet 2–4 cm long and 1–2 cm broad. The plant produces small white flowers which can self-pollinate to produce small shiny-black drupes containing a single, large viable seed. The berry pulp is edible, with a sweet flavor. 46970
Bloedell Conservatory birds and plants. Hand held shooting the always moving. The bright green background comes from the sun shining on some tropical trees behind the bird.
The jet-skiers were completely inundated with a severe tropical storm soon after this capture, and just made it back to safety! They had adequate warning.

Sterculia urens is a species of plant in the family Malvaceae. It is native to India and has been introduced into Burma. A small to medium-sized tree with a pale-coloured trunk, it is commonly known as the bhutyā (भुत्या) in Marathi (meaning "ghost tree"), kulu, Indian tragacanth, gum karaya, katira, sterculia gum or kateera gum.
Gum karaya is exuded from Sterculia urens, a large bushy tree growing to about 30 ft (10 m) in height on the dry rocky hills and plateaus of central and northern India. Originally introduced as a substitute for gum tragacanth, many uses were found for it and its commercial quantities rapidly increased until its use became second only to that of gum arabic.

The picturesque Janjehli is placed at an elevation of 2150 Mtr. A beautiful lush green valley having agricultural fields on its gentle slopes, apple orchards, hills covered with pine and deodar trees. A must visit when in Janjehli is ShikariDevi temple. This small path leading to the temple was a nature lovers delight. Mist surrounds the place with rays finding their way through the mist and trees to give some light to the area, covered also with green vegetation on the side of the path going uphill, was so soul stirring and peaceful.

The Pied Imperial-Pigeon is found from the western Bay of Bengal eastward to the Philippines and south through Indonesia and New Guinea to northern Australia.
This pigeon is found on offshore islands and the mainland of northern and north-eastern Australia. It is found in a variety of wooded habitats, such as mangroves, rain forest and in forests of Eucalyptus and Melaleuca.
Pied Imperial-Pigeons are fruit eaters, eating from tropical trees, palms, vines and bushes. They feed in the dense canopies of trees but occasionally near the ground in shrubs or small trees.
In some areas of eastern Queensland population sizes have decreased, perhaps due to habitat loss, shooting and other human disturbances. However some populations have recovered to some extent. Pied Imperial-Pigeons used to be shot in large numbers, at breeding sites, but they have been protected since 1902. Nesting birds are easily disturbed by human activities.
