The Numbers Game #121
The idea of The Numbers Game is to enter a number into the search bar of your computer and then post a selection of the photos that turn up. This week’s number is 243. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.
The top photo and the first gallery are photos that haven’t run on the blog before. I don’t know why I never ran the top one, though I had a lot of good photos to choose from that day.
Lined Butterflyfish
The largest of their family, these butterflyfish can be ‘as large as dinner plates’ according to my fish book. This one was probably a little over half that length.

Wreckage
Two views of the engine, prop shaft, and propeller of the SS Kauai, an old wooden steamship, which sank in 1913 in Mahukona harbor.
Highfin Chubs
Highfin Chubs are quite common around here, but a bit shy about being photographed, at least in my experience. This group were headed towards shallower water when I saw them.

A gray day
I’m happy to say that our weather here is back to normal after a couple of weeks of cold, gray, rainy weather. I took this photo during that time and it looks much the same in black and white as it did in color!
