Maui: Honus & Sunsets

I love sea turtles. They're called honu, in Hawaii. It just so happens that the honu often appear floating around at the rocks by the condo, and they even appear on the beach sun bathing too, but I didn't get to see that. One day I went down to the rocks to take pictures of the honu...here's what I got. Do you see them?

They sure blend in with the rocks, don't they?

I would wait with my hand on my shutter button (is that even the proper term!?) for what seemed like 5 minutes in order to catch them coming up to take a breath!

Here's a view a little farther back from where I was:

But don't worry...the next wave saved him!

So this concludes my Maui posts! I hope you've enjoyed reading them! I sure enjoyed being there and taking the pictures! Enjoy some sunsets, why don't you?
