Sunday, November 19, 2006 - a turtle visits Poipu Beach

Hawaiian Monk Seals are common on the beaches of Kauai, but this is the first time in many visits to Poipu Beach that we have seen a Hawaiian sea turtle. He (she?) was resting on the beach when we got there, and he lumbered slowly into the lovely waters after a bit. Quite the rare site.

What a lovely day to rest on Poipu Beach!

 

Who's that nut in my photo opp!!!

 

Okay, time to mosey on towards the water.

 

I can see the water now, just half an hour more to struggle!

 

I can almost taste it!

 

I am free at last!
