I took this photo coming back from a swim last weekend. We like to go early as it’s never crowded then and, generally, conditions for snorkeling are better earlier in the day.

Achilles Tangs are one of those fish that I see often, but rarely photograph because they zip away when my camera is raised. They’re particularly plentiful at Mauna Lani, and last weekend I encountered this one that was a bit slow with its escape.

I saw this Brown Anole on a beach at Hualalai, looking good against the coarse sand.

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.









Threadfin Butterflyfishes are almost always seen in pairs. They are quite common, but not numerous around here.
