If it's Fall, It's Football...

Birds of Hawaii
These bird pictures are for Margaret. Max even grabbed the camera at one point and said "I have to get this shot for Margaret"! Many of these were "hotel" residents, but this first one lived in the "wild" near a beach.
Several pairs of pink flamingos live near the beautiful wedding chapel at the hotel.
This red headed guy was my favorite. He stayed and posed for quite a while.
The next two shots are not very focused, but we were on a mission to capture all birds for Margaret.
This guy looks like a penguin... ?
Better picture, but no idea what type of bird this is.
Okay, maybe this is my favorite. Beautiful colors on this bird, and I think he knows it...
This is Butterscotch. He visits the hotel lobby everyday. He likes to be scratched under his wing - so says Max. 
Chelsea hung out on the other side of the lobby and we were warned not to wear shinny jewelry near her - she is somewhat of a jewel thief.
busboy or bird? These guys couldn't wait to clean up after our meals.
Here's the one bird we know is from Hawaii. The State bird, the Hawaiian Goose (NeNe). Max won a glass bottom boat tour with that information. It pays to study while traveling!
The triplets were watching our dinner plates... smallest vultures ever!

This looks like some type of dove - we saw lots of these.
Like the yellow beak on this one..
Those are the birds we saw. My guys love to snorkel and hang with the fish, but since fish creep me out - it was fun to focus on the birds. They are just as colorful and the creep factor is low.
Farmers Market Kona
A few flower photos from the Farmers Market in Kona. This was our second trip to the market - and this time the camera was with us...
My gecko fear was on high alert walking amoung these buckets of flowers. Luckily I didn't spot any.
The reason for our second trip to the market?... Max loves him some lychee nuts.
