Thanks for the kind words. I had over 160 pictures on my digital so it's hard to pick and choose which ones. I might upload a few more later if you guys will indulge me, I found some incredible plants (broms, orchids, etc etc etc all the sort of things you wish you could grow here but can't), and I found these three horned chameleons up on the mountain that were just bizarre.

Hi Neal, the camera I use is an Olympus C-5000, 5 megapixel. I've had it about a year and a half so I don't know if it's still available or if it's been replaced yet (digital cameras seem to have a shelf life of about 2 weeks). It was the best blend of budget and macro that I could find, being about half the cost (or maybe even a tad less than half) of a comparable Nikon at the time but has macro capability down to about 2" which I thought would be better for tank shots. As it turns out I seem to do much better on outdoor photos and plants than I do of tank shots, but it's probably due more to my incompetence than due to the camera itself).

Default algae blennies

Hey Tony,

Yes, I am pretty much 100 % sure that algae blennies are found in Hawaii....

salarias faciatus I believe...

Glad you had a good vacation

Dang Tony, those pics bring back some memories. I was in Maui last Christmas.

I went to the Maui ocean center as well, that place is pretty rad. They had some cool coral tanks when I was there.

The snorkeling was just as you said, great for fish, not the greatest for corals.. but still good nonetheless.

Ah man, I need to get my butt back there... thanks for the pics, glad you had a great time
