We went up to North Shore on Saturday. The ocean was unusually calm. We almost always see a turtle or two on this beach, but this time there was a plethora of them
Walking down to find a good spot I found this huge female basking on the shore.
you can tell its female by the size of her tail:
I found a good little spot nestled under a palm tree:
Here is the view from our blanket!
In this tiny stretch we saw over 15 different turtles
The water was so calm we were able to do some snorkeling. After a while I got too cold so I came out and watched the Richard and turtles from shore. Because of the way the water was it was actually easier to see them from up top. There were all sizes, Ones that probably outweighed Richard down to some baby ones that were only 18inches in diameter. It was nice to spend some quality time with them. Each one has such a different personality. Some were curious, others shy, and some were totally indifferent.
On the way home we saw this on the freeway:

!OH MY WORD! That sighting of the wild pig on his way to a a luau is, is... gosh .. I don't quite know WHAT to say! It makes me laugh in a horrified way :0 (you know, the crying at weddings/laughing at funerals type of confusing emotions? lol)
