I’ve seen this little turtle a couple of times recently and realized it wasn’t one of the usual Hawaiian Green Turtles seen around here. The pointed bill is clear from above, and the edge of the shell is jagged, not curvy. These are both clear indicators that this is a Hawksbill Turtle. I think I’ve only seen one in this area before, but perhaps this one will stick around.

Recently, I’ve seen this vehicle, and a few others like it, but it was only a few days ago that I noticed these were Volkswagons. So I looked it up and discovered that this is the new version of the VW bus.
It gets good reviews and likely contains all the comforts of home. But I confess, the first time I saw it, and it’s still my reaction, was to think it was just another oversized SUV.
