Wedding Picture Day

Yesterday we began our day with Dmitri, an island wedding photographer. We didn't want to leave this beautiful island without some sort of photo journal about our recent nuptials. Neither of us enjoy getting our photo taken, but coincidentally, we were photographed both morning and night. Our wedding photographer will create and mail a disk for us to make prints from when we get home. I can't wait to see the results. He is an excellent photographer. We finished the shoot snorkeling off into Honokeana Cove. I can't wait to see the dorky pictures of us in our fins, masks, and snorkels. I'm sure they are very attractive! Not.

The snorkeling was spectacular. I actually lost count of all the turtles we swam with. At one point I was between two turtles that were checking ME out. How cool. We also saw a plethora of tropical fish. I love to see the trumpet fish; they are always a treat. I think my favorite is what I call the rainbow fish. I've come to learn that it is called the Yellow Moon Wrasse. I think most wrasses are beautiful fish, and the cove is filled with many of them. I'm told by the people at the Ocean Center their job is to clean off the turtles 'and fishes' backs. This is the behavior I see most often. Most of the wrasses are tiny, but at least one of the Yellow Moon Wrasses in the Cove is HUGE.

At the end of the day, there was the most beautiful sunset, but when I went out to take a picture, my camera battery needed charging. I ran inside to charge the battery and grabbed the iPhone. This sunset was too beautiful to miss, and I was hoping that its beauty would be enough to carry the lousy pixel count. Then to our surprise, there was a sweet couple that had a fabulous Nikon camera, so I have a sunset photo taken of us by David Mansour. He and his wife, Lynn, are a sweet couple who came here with their young adult children, and live near Redmond, WA.  Here are twp iPhone pictures of that sunset.
