Not your typical surf and turf

Here are a few photos from the last couple of days.  Some were taken underwater, and others were taken above ground.  Not your typical surf and turf, but a mixture that is very Hawaiian.

Underwater, we have been lucky enough to encounter a pair of saddleback butterflyfish, one of several butterflyfish species to be known as kikakapu in Hawaiian.  They are striking to look at, and have been difficult for me to photograph.  But this photo captures what they look like.

And one of the coolest things to find while snorkeling is the juvenile rockmover wrasse.  Juveniles resemble drifting algae.  The lower photo shows what they look like as adults.

On land, today I took a photo of our resident white rabbit.

Then a bit later, I found a feral pig, while walking around the "neighborhood" about 2 blocks from where we are staying.

And of course, there are always lots of lovely flowers blooming.
