Today was a not so sunny, rainy, windy and frankly just a gloomy day at the beach. It's fall/winter on the Hawaiian Islands and we're experiencing some "winter" type weather. I hadn't been to the beach for nearly 2 weeks and was in desperate need of a beach fix. Even with the gray weather I had a beautiful day in God's creation--making lemonade from lemons.
My first seal find of the day...R1KT |
an albatross....Pip and Cheerio's parents have not arrived yet. |
The seals are a bit more active when it's "cooler" |
This is R337 and T325 -- adult female seals that spent well over an hour playing together on shore and in the water. Fun to watch as most of the time we observe sleeping/resting seals. |
lots of nudging and poking at each other |
This just made me giggle |
Monk Seal version of say "uncle" |
it was just fun to watch their interaction. |
This guy was hidden under a bush and was difficult to ID, put with my camera zoom I did it without the seal even knowing I was anywhere nearby. |
Frigate Bird or Iwa, which in Hawaiian means thief. |
One of the albatross that has returned to mate and raise a young one. |
Love to watch them soar |
more soaring |
So it wasn't your typical sunshiny Hawaiian Day but, I enjoyed every minute of my time at the beach and maybe next time I'll see some whales. |
