Keeping It Green
Turtle/Laniakea Beach is famous for having sea turtles visit during the warm hours of the day to dry themselves out, get some sun and rest up a bit. To tell you the truth, it’s not the place to snorkel and see these beautiful creatures in the water, as the waves are usually rough, the current strong, or the visibility is poor in comparison to Shark’s Cove, just down the road. But it’s possible.
On this particular day, there were three turtles on the beach sunning, and one in the breakers looking for a boyfriend before her 500 mile trip back to the French Frigate Shoals where she’ll lay some eggs if she finds a male before then.
I couldn’t decide which crop I liked best, so here goes another one on Flickr (see below).
Have a great week!

Paradise
Whether it’s jumping off waterfalls, snorkeling, surfing, hiking, or relaxing in the sun or shade, we’re in paradise.
Another view from the height of Oahu’s Diamond Head Crater of Waikiki and Honolulu on a bright and beautiful day.
Today we swam with turtles at Shark’s Cove on the North Shore - what an amazing time that was!EXIF:

Last Sunset
Well, not “the” last sunset, but close to one of the last that I took while staying on the North Shore. Being a visitor for a short time on the North Shore, the environment is idyllic, and I can’t imagine it any other way. I’m sure it gets a lot busier in terms of traffic, than what we have experienced. But when your surfing, laying out in the sun, snorkeling, or eating good food in paradise - It’s All Good!
Which reminds me - Check out Jack Johnson’s, “You and Your Heart” when you get a chance.

Aloha Sunset
A month or so back I had the opportunity to go play at Oahu’s North Shore and had a great time snorkeling. I initially was there to surf, but it was flat, and when the swell’s going, I’m not that good anyways - so it’s a hit and miss for me. Either too big or too small.
But the snorkeling, shave ice, and meetup with world famous pro photographer Sean Davey was super awesome, and I couldn’t have asked for a better day in paradise. Sean has been on my list of pros to meet, and he was kind enough to oblige. Be sure to check out his work. He shoots in cool places like Hawaii, Australia, Tahiti, and at most of the other famous surf spots around the world, but is also an amazing landscape photographer (where he actually got his start).
The above photo is over-looking Sharks Cove, one of the best places to snorkel. The area on the left is completely protected water, and a great place for families, where the area on the right goes out to the open ocean. Everytime I’m there, I see something new, and this time it was an octopus. The turtles were out and about, and of course tons of fish and the usual sea-life. Last time it was a Monk Seal and more turtles!
