Reeflections > ~The Spill~

Color from this Maui sunset spills onto the beach. Shot about 10 minutes before "Good Morning Big Beach"
Reeflections > ~Exposed Reef~

Rough surf negotiating the lava shore, Maui
Reeflections > ~Playing in the Sun~

Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles swimming in the waters off of the coast of Maui. A lovely sight.
Reeflections > ~Good Morning Big Beach~

One of those "WOW" Maui sunrises. This one completely overpowers the simple fisherman with color. South Maui, Makena Beach (Big Beach).
Reeflections > ~Out of the Blue~

This turtle is taking advantage of the high tide to reach the red seaweed (algae) growing on the shallow rocks. She must really love this stuff since she takes quite a beating from the waves and rocks to get at it. Here, she is taking a break to chew, get some air, and head back into the fray.
Reeflections > ~Honu and Lauipala~

This Green Sea Turtle (honu) is getting cleaned by Yellow Tangs (lauipala). Like most surgeonfish, yellow tangs are algae eaters. This works well for the turtles that are unable to wash their own backs. Yellow tangs are the number one fish caught here in Hawaii for export to the aquarium market and are becoming very rare on some the Islands. Please don't buy any wild fish for your aquariums. You will make the turtles very happy.
Reeflections > ~Escaping the Waves~

Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle avoiding the waves crashing on the rocks.
Reeflections > ~Ulua Beach Sunset~


Spectacular sunset with tropical palms and other trees silhouetted in the foreground. Shot from Ulua Beach in Wailea, on the island of Maui.
Reeflections > ~Perfect Ending~



Divers enjoy sunset just a little differently. A relaxed Maui dive topped off with a Maui sunset... life is good!!
