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.

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

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.

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

Additional #sunset shenanigans on Maui. 🦑

Sunset over crashing ocean waves. Sky is pastel hues with ocean reflecting a lot of pink . A few palm trees on the right edge.

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

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.

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 · 2d

Sunset in Maui 🦑

#photography #eastcoastkin #scape

Ocean scene for a sunset... mostly sky of orange and blue with pink and dark grey clouds. Lava rocks nearby form the coastline.

Saw signs of a closure for 4 miles on 405 thru Renton this weekend - but can't find anything about it on the web. Is that happening? Was postponed from the 29th but signs on hwy said it's happening this weekend now.

Coyote laying on the ground in the forest. Head up and alert. Sun dappling through the trees. Moss and shrubbery all around.

Landscape scene of red rock country with scrub in front and towering red rock mountains in the background. The sky is blue-grey and cloudy. A lone, tall, dead tree stand in the middle of the photo.

Ha! Maybe. But she seems to be enjoying herself.
