Animalia
Naturally, wandering around the island with my folks, we ran into a few other living creatures:

 | The most surprising sighting has to have been these wild pigs, spotted dashing across the Puna coast road. |
 | We saw these sea turtles at the black sands beach on the south side of the island. They're regulars at this end of the island, apparently. |
 | Max is actually the one who spotted them: he and I were walking back from changing out of our beach clothes and he pointed them out to me. I've seen them before, but never three at once. |
 | This gecko was outside the cottage my parents rented. I've gotten lots of pictures of lizards on walls, etc., but the flowers made it a special shot. |
 | Also the fact that he was willing to sit there while I took pictures from other angles and close up.... |
 | This one was inside the house. I've got a picture of Max watching Dad take a picture of the same gecko in the earlier post. |
 | Dead dragonfly, yeah. Great colors and texture, though. This one was taken at the walk-a-lap event. |
 | Coqui frog, at the cottage. I need to get back to spraying the ones in our backyard; it's starting to sound chorus-like out there. |
 | Fortunatly, this is a very small bug in real life, less than an inch long. Very distinctive looking, though. |
