Surfacing, sunning, and surfing

 

A few more photos of honu, or Green Sea Turtles (Chelonias mydas), from Hawai'i for you.

Above, two photographed in the Honolulu area.  These turtles were only at the surface for brief periods.  Most of the time they were under water, perhaps feeding near the bottom?

Below, two photographed on Kaui'i.  One resting on the beach, and another riding a wave:

For some reason, I find sea turtles really calming. Thank you for these images!
