I love all the variety of Hibiscus in Hawaii and all the different colors.  This yellow one with a dark center is so pretty!

Fish View

We were in the ocean snorkeling and I took this photo looking back at the beach.  I guess this is what fish see when they look out of the water.

We had a wonderful day of snorkeling in the Pacific Ocean and there were lots of beautiful fish to see!

There is one lone Cook Pine sitting at Poipu Beach and it stands elegantly  surrounded by Palm Trees!

Beautiful Morning

It was a beautiful morning as I walked along the beach.  There were Hawaiian Green Turtles out resting on the beach and the sun & blue sky were peering thru the clouds!

Poipu Beach, Kauai, Hawaii

This time to Hawaii we have seen a lot of Hawaiian Green Turtles.  In this photo you can see the one close to me and another across the lagoon on the other side of the beach.  They are fun to watch, though I do love to swim with them in the ocean!

After looking at the beautiful sunset I took the time to look at the four turtles that were sleeping on the beach.  It was pretty as the sun reflected on them and then this little guy looked up at me and ‘smiled’.

Sleeping

Hawaiian Green Turtles come onto the beach during the night and they sleep.  I am sure they are exhausted after swimming into waves all day!

The sun was coming up and cast a beautiful light upon the beach, so this was a perfect place for my sister and I to put our feet up and RELAX. Notice there is a Hawaiian Green Turtle there on the beach, too, RELAXING I presume!

Sunrise

I woke just as the sun was coming up and so I hurried outside to make it for the sunrise and I did, what a perfect place to RELAX and have a beautiful view!
