Nothing Like Chillin

There is nothing like CHILLIN in the Pacific Ocean! Try it sometime, put your feet up (much harder than it looks) and RELAX!

 

In The Ocean

Nothing like putting your feet up and RELAXING on the bottom of the ocean!

Water Socks

Here’s the reason I always wear water socks in the ocean, notice the black & white Sea Urchins, well they hurt when you step on them, thus my water socks! Now isn’t this a great place to RELAX!?!?

Good-bye

It’s always hard to say good-bye, even to a turtle!

I meet some fun people while I was taking photos of this beautiful Hawaiian Green Turtle.  There was a young couple from Japan, honeymooners.  They were really cute!  Here the turtle is surfacing for air.

After snorkeling in a man made fish pool, that was really cool and had large fish in it and you knew you were safe, I decided, as we returned to the beach, to go into the ocean and see what there was.  I am so glad I did.  I hadn’t been in the ocean for very long when a couple called me over, there was a Hawaiian Green Turtle, I got some fun photos of him.

Lava Fields

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, Hawaii

We have been to the island of Hawaii before and we stayed in Hilo, the wet side, this time we stayed on the dry side, just north of Kona. It has lava fields where lava came down to the sea in the 1800’s. Not much grows there now, except for where resorts & businesses have gone in and removed the lava. Having said all that, it still has it’s own kinda beauty!

Lemonade or Guava Juice Stands?

As a child, I would have a lemonade stand during the summer. It was fun, as well as a great way to keep busy and earn a small amount of money. In Hawaii apparently, the children have Guava Juice stands! Yummy!!
