What an amazingly creative God we have! There's such a variety of beautiful FISH in the ocean - and we've seen just a tiny sample while snorkeling here, but WOW!

Unfortunately, we don't have our underwater pics developed yet, but here's a link to a guide that shows a sampling of the fish around Hawaii's reefs (and we've seen some that aren't even on this guide).

One fish we saw a lot is the humu humu nuku nuku apuaa, or Rectangular Triggerfish - Hawaii's state fish.  (Image copied from keith.martin.home.att.net/stats.html)

I'll leave you with one picture I took from a black sand beach looking out toward Molokini Crater, a place known for amazing snorkeling. The crater is right on the horizon, at the end of where the point of land juts out. The sand is more of a "salt and pepper" black, white and red sand - even the sand was beautiful (but hot). Aloha!
