Was privileged to see a competition pod of humpback whales yesterday. They were super aggressive and we saw one ride on top of another consistently for about 20 minutes. Amazing. Hope they're all okay.

She was indeed a small bundle of energy.
Reddish and white (for now) octopus with some tentacles extended. Sitting on a matching coral reef.
Octopus I met snorkeling. I was more enchanted with her than she was with me. π¦

I'm just glad there's someone else on Maui who could even care about Lunar Escape Velocity. Nerds unite!
Two iridescent octopus-looking red, white and clear fish with yellow marking and many colored spots. They're "arms" reach out in front of their eyes as they glide over the coral.
Two remarkable cuttlefish... well, cuddling! π¦

Moon shining thru deep blue skies with white, pink and grey clouds showing. Ocean is mostly black with white wave breaking and moonlight reflecting off the water.
Waves in pre-dawn moonlight.

Intense colors post sunset. Sky is layers of purple, orange and sky blue. With cloudless layer of yellow at the horizon. Ocean is dotted with rocks and a deep purple hue.
Most people leave the beach as soon as the sun sets. They are missing out, as often, the colors turn more intense after.

Small beach i let with muted, pastel greens in the sea and white/blues in the sky. Some beach and lava rock is scattered all around.

Super cool
Where is this?
Enlarged crab eye with my silhouette snapping a pic.. mostly colored red. I have drawn a blue circle around my reflection for clarity.
My reflection in the crab's eye. My elbow is out and you can see I'm holding my phone to take the pic.
Close up of black crab on lava rock. Crab is covered with green dots. Here legs have a beautiful orange on them and look wickedly sharp.
This is a nice crab photo, but the remarkable thing is that if you zoom way in in the eye, you can see my reflection. It's subtle, but there. I'll post a zoomed look in the comments. #nature #crustaceans #love #photography #Maui #nokings #marinelife #smallwonders #eastcoastkin
Highly colorful mollusk shells in grey, pink, blue and green clinging to a rock above the water in a tidepool.
Mother Nature - the undisputed best artist in the world (other than my wife). These are 'Opihi, from Maui. Gorgeous.

Wild for sure. I don't believe in lizards/reptiles as pets.
Hahahhahahhaha!
A green gecko with orange spots and blue ringed eyes on a bamboo tree. She is staring right at me
Another gecko has fallen for me β€οΈ

Far away shot of paddle boarder very close to a diving whale's tail, while another tail also disappears on the left.
Watched from the shore as this person on a paddle board was surrounded by multiple humpback whales.

I would have had no idea that was a fish!
Cave with clear tidepool below. Black lava rock all around. Far side is open to the ocean and sunlight is glaring in.
Couldn't go into this cave because the incoming waves were too big but I still this view of it.

Giant wave and splash hitting the rocky shoreline. Photo is largely aimed toward the sun and rhe ocean has lots of bright glare. Trees and land in the far background.
On a rancorous Maui morning.

Green Sea Turtle (honu) shot from above in shallow water. She is holding her right front flipper up and out like the We're Number 1" gesture. She's swimming above a coral reef outcropping. Water is clear green.
"We're Number one!"

Evening shot looking up at the top of a lit torch with fire inside and coming out of it. Above is the moon, with Jupiter bright, right next to it.
Tiki torch, Moon, Jupiter. I shall let you figure out which is which.

Was somewhat windy, but not insane.
Large bay with a long, blue wave breaking just after sunrise. Rocky cliffs on the right and in the background.
The Pacific Ocean!

Wave crashing into black rock cliffside and erupting in huge splash. Bottom of splash is brilliant light blue with the rest being white, foamy and sprayed in every direction. Palm trees and homes way back in the distance.
Tremendous wave crashing at Kapalua, Maui. Look at that brilliant blue in the middle! π¦

Close up of the face of a green gecko with orange stripes and a beautiful ring of blue around its eye. Against a bamboo tree.
This dapper Gold Dust Day Gecko called dibs on the bamboo tree before I got there.

Yesterday, the Nakalele Blowhole was in full glory (and apparently, slow motion)

After sunset colors of pink and blue pastels streaked in the clouds hanging over the ocean. Ocean iIs largely pink from reflection. Island on the horizon.
Last night's #sunset was another banger!

Mahalo - so cool!
