Description
The Hawaiian Sea Turtles are protected by law.
Honu, or the green sea turtles can be seen at the black sands of Punalu'u on the Big Island. Honu'ea or hawksbill turtle will often nest at Punalu'u Beach. This picture was taken in a garden at a Monk's Temple upland. Thank God it is not real.
Thanks Punaguy for helping me on my first post. Any comments will be appreciated. Aloha

Great presentation for your first work! Welcome to R&R, keep up the great work!

Excellently executed b/w photo. Great pov and contrast! Really nice.
I spent the morning in your wonderful gallery, I cannot thank you enough for showcasing your amazing islands. [=
I used a canvas bag with "Honu" and a green sea turtle image on it every day for very many years when I was teaching electronics. I got many questions about it and I used to tell my students that I lived in Hawaii and worked in Alberta, but I had to spend 50 weeks a year working. Thanks for your kind comments about my gallery! I've just had the pleasure of looking at your entire gallery and it is so amazing. You have the best photos of lava flow that I have ever seen, far better than has ever been in National Geographic. I wouldn't know where to start to pick favorites! And you have many beautiful flower shots as well. I think you have a great combination: a Harley, a camera, and the most interesting place in the world to live. Whenever I can get to Hawaii I always return with about 3,000 photos in 10 days and it's just so amazing to sit and watch the ocean! Have a great day and let me know if you ever are coming to Alberta! Wayne Hope
