Menestune

Close up, seeing through a tidepool ton pile of large rocks. Water on surface is somewhat reflecting the cloudy, blue sky. Lava rocks encircle the tidepool.

Tidepool with rocks below, sky above (where it usually is).

Snail headed other way

From further zoomed out

Look at that triceratops head!

A few more pics...

Other-wordly looking snail with half see-thru head and tail with white dots and green trim. Her shell is solid pink with squiggly lines. Completely alien looking.

I posted a video of this remarkable creature yesterday, here's a photo. It's a sea snail called a Miniature Melo. Amazing that I saw it because it's the size of a few grains of rice. This is at 10x zoom.

Hahahaha. Totally.

Tidepool among the rocks adjacent to the parking lot at La Perouse Bay.

My finger pointing at a little snail you can barely.see.

Like a few grains of rice. Here's me pointing at it... I was using 10x zoom in a tiny tidepool.

I've seen some crazy-amazing shit in Maui but this may be the amazingest! Apparently, it's a Miniature Melo. A marine bubble snail that seems impossibly cool. And it was tiny. TINY!

Ocean and clouds meeting the rocky coastline. Colors are yellow and orange and green as the water reflects the early sun and big clouds.

Morning mood

#sunrise #scape #seascape #eastcoastkin #maui #photography #nature #love #nokings #zen

Cloudy sunset with lots of greys and pinks and an orange sun just above the horizon. The orange is reflected in the blue and white water and also in a bright orange spot on the wet sand.

I call it "Sunset Over Ocean" 😊

Large splash from blue-white water forced into a small rocky inlet along the ocean. Thr rock all around is blsck. Mountains in the background.

Too much water for this little inlet to handle. Maui, Hawaii.

It's a dog eat dog world.

We were in the wrong boat for our whale watch! At the 33 and 38 second mark, I thought the whale was going to hit their boat for sure.

Nice one!

Caterpillar with black back with green dots defining the segments. Front section is bright orange with two green dots and a black head. It's on a flaked epoxy floor of black, grey and white.

Found this little one on the garage floor. Google says it's the caterpillar of an Oleander Hawk Moth. It was pretty huge. Too cool.

If you are on Maui and you are concerned that a turtle is in trouble or entangled in fishing line, please don't approach the turtle... call the Sea Turtle Hotline at 808-286-2549.

That's great advice. In fact, on Maui, if you are concerned about a sea turtle or see one entangled in fishing line please call the sea turtle hotline at 808-286-2549

5 large sea turtles on a tiny sand beach near a rocky shore. All splayed out and resting.

Hawai'i is one of only four places in the world where green sea turtles haul out to bask on land. So we get many tourists who are concerned that they are sick or dead! Don't worry, they're fine - just resting.

Yeah, not a fan of my food changing colors. I'm vegan, and I don't want my pop-tarts turning clear b4 I wolf them down!

At 7 seconds, presto-changeo, this cuttlefish turns from red to clear right in front of your eyes. Amazing.

Still hanging in there. Amazing.

Ocean scene along a rocky shore. Pre-sunrise light is rosy. Clouds are red against blue sky and those colors are reflected in the water.

Sunrise on the way. 🦑☀️

Small ocean bay with a couple of tall palm trees. Just past the beach is an old, beautiful, stone church. Volcanic mountain rising in the background.

I don't go to church, but if I did, this one would be at the top of my list.

Close up of a huge octopus tree with many arms, branches and shoots all combining to make a huge trunk and canopy. The pic cuts off before the canopy, so you just see the trunk and branches.

Octopus Tree (but it can't change color)

Blue and sand colored wave breaking at the beach. Flat ocean behind in a cloudy day. Island on left in the distance. Lots of white foam in the bright wave.

Makena Beach, Maui 🦑🌊

Devastatinly sad. People are slowly rebuilding.

Picture from shore thru clear green water. Large rock/reef structure under the sea.

Not a sea monster - just a big rock.

Bright green water and white foam seen through a slot in a tall lava rock formation with lots of crags and edges. The sun is brightening the water.

Ocean hitting the shore directly below me as I look down from the rocky cliffs above the shore.

Landscape of ocean washing over coastal rocks. Clouds and sky dominate the top half of the pic. The clouds and ocean. All have a rosy cast from the rising sun. The clouds are all curvy and squiggly like cursive writing.

The clouds were practicing their cursive today.

Red, green, white and clear cuttle fish with her legs/tentacles bent down and squiggling. She has bright white spots on her body that look iridescent.

Cuddliest cuttlefish ever!

Ocean inlet leading to rocky beach and scrubbing greenery in a semi-circular border.
