Punahele at Laniakea Beach

Various images of my experience meeting Punahele, an amazing green sea turtle who loves basking in the sun on Laniakea Beach along the North Shore of O'ahu, Hawaii

Punahele and Her Marker
Punahele the Sun Lover || Laniakea
Punahele is a 37 year old female green sea turtle who loves the sun, stays longer than the rest until long after the sunset, and is magnificent in all ways!
Heading Home || Laniakea Beach
Punahele heads home and back into the surf after a long day of sunbathing and posing. She's a 40 year old (37 at this time) green sea turtle, absolutely marvelous and a stunning display of courage, survival against the greatest odds, and a testament to the will of life finding a way. || Laniakea Beach, O'ahu, Hawaii, May 2018 Read my blog post about Punahele, green sea turles and conservation efforts here: https://geoffpiperphotography.medium.com/punahele-the-majesty-of-green-sea-turtles-1899b82769de
