I was on Turtle Nest Watch this morn... no turtles emerged, but I got to say a rad sunrise.

Beach view with orange and red cloudy sky pre-dawn. The colors are reflected in. The wet sand.

Green Sea Turtle swimming through sandy and clear green water. She is emerging from a cloud of sand that has been kicked up from the incoming waves.

If you stop along the road near Tang Town in Maui on a sunny day, you can see hordes of yellow tangs hanging together near the shore. #marinelife #photography #beach #ocean #fish #tropical #wonder #beautiful #hawaii #peace #zen

#Sunset as seen through the flame of a beachfront tiki torch.

#Ocean #photography #love #scape #landscape #marinelife #hawaii

Dark blue ocean on right half. On front left is close and out-of-focus top of tiki torch. The flame is blown to the right in orange, green and red. You can see the setting sun through the fire.

Starry morning walk on the beach. Hello, Orion.

Looking up at Cafe sign to night time sky with Orion's belt and some other stars. Three palm trees are also present at a sharp angle.

Pre sunrise seascape came out just about two-tone. Blues and silvers.

#photography #scape #landscape #nature #hawaii #love #zen #marinelife #goodmorning

Ocean coming into a coral beach with trees. The light is low as the sun has not risen. The foam on the water is all cast in blue, while the shoreline all looks silvery.

Seascape w clouds.

#photography #marinelife #landscape #scape #eastcoastkin #beach #hawaii #love #bluesky

Corner of a bay from the rocks above. Blue-green water reaching the sand. Red hillside behind the beach meeting the cloudy blue sky.

Nice of this wave to crash at the shore, so we get to see these great colors and translucence. #surf #ocean #hawaii #marinelife #nature #hawaii #photography #blue

White and blue crashing wave. Light is pouring thru from behind, making the blue see-thru and bright.

Sundown at Big Beach, Maui. Colors galore.

#photography #scape #seascape #landscape #marinelife #eastcoastkin #zen #clouds

Beach scene with wide sandy area leading to the ocean. Lots of purple, puffy clouds overhead with blue and yellow sky on the horizon. The ocean is reflecting all the sky colors.

Gecko with a nicely curlicued tail for added flair. Also nice of her to smile at the camera. #lizards #herps #smallwonders #Maui #nature #adorbs

Green gecko with orange spots climbing bamboo and looking back with a nice pose.

Just like me, this flower is grabbing every drop of sun that she can.

#love #sunset #hawaìi #nature #life #photography #beautiful #scape #eastcoastkin

Focus is on single purple flower in a patch on the edge of the ocean. The sun is setting in the background and everything is bathed in golden light.

Come on in, the water's fine.

#ocean #photography #marinelife #sunset #scape #seascape #Maui #eastcoastkin

Waves crashing in front of setting sun. Sea is blue, green and pink. Rocks close on the left as waves hit. Sky half orange and half blue with long clouds.

Last night's sunset was not ugly.

#photography #beautiful #love #zen #ocean #travel #hawaii

Ocean crashing over black rocks. White foam nearby over green water as the ocean stretches out behind in reds, reflecting the color of the sky from the sunset.

The strange color on this nearby lava rock makes this photo look like a painting. Hweird!

#photography #sundown #maui #outside #sky #clouds #sunset #peace #surreal

Sunset photo of broad blue ocean with Grey and blue cloudy sky. Sun just above the horizon. The nearby lava rock on the left is reddish-brown and somewhat out of focus - making it look surreal.

Ugh, I hate rush hour.

#surf #hawaii #surfsup #ocean #nature #love #photography #marinelife #tgif

About a dozen surfers catching the same wave and all bunched up together. Facing all directions.

Additional #sunset shenanigans on Maui. 🦑

Nice of this mini-cliff diving kid to spruce up my #sunset pic.

#maui #photography #marinelife #zen #ocean #nature #beach #love

Sunset pic of dark blue clouds, dark ocean and orange setting sun on right horizon. On the left are some lava rocks and the silhouette of someone mid-air, jumping into the ocean.

Adorable Spotted Boxfish. I see these snorkeling often, but they are skittish, and it's hard to get a good pic. This one was just below when I was walking on the rocky shoreline and BOOM - cool shot with my phone.

#photography #maui #snorkeling #diving #cool #colors #vacay #marinelife #zen

Blue boxfish with white dots. On top of a coral reef just a foot ornso deep in the water.

Moon hanging over the ocean. It looks like it's smoking. #photography #fullmoon #nature #hawaii #love #marinelife #cool #zen

Moon reflecting its light on the open ocean in front of a beach. There is a trail of clouds up and left from the moon that look like smoke from a burning cigarette.

It was crazy-beautiful.

Menestune @menestune.bsky.social · 7d

Ha. Or at least synchronized.

Menestune @menestune.bsky.social · 7d

Nice! Amazing every time.
