Animals in Hawai'i

DH and Amy spent an afternoon horseback rididng.



This moth was on the ceiling of the gazebo outside our house.




Yellow-billed Cardinals.



Some kind of sand crab. DH and I sat on the beach just watching these little things move seed pods from the trees and quickly bury themselves when startled.

Other animals we saw were wild goats along the road kind of like we see deer here. There were donkey crossing signs posted along the highway, but we never saw any. Once the coffee growers stopped using them for transporting coffee they let them loose, so now they just roam the land.

The most common critter we saw was the gecko. There were everywhere inside and outside the house. They keep the insect population down. The picture is blurry, but it's the only one we have.

Mom would've hated the gecko's! :-) The first picture of the horses was great. The green grass against the bright blue sky was gorgeous!
