People and More People

After two weeks of abundant wildlife, the Maui Pink Cap swimmers saw not much more than people, people and more people on our weekly swim this morning.

Unsuspecting Populace

 Unsuspecting populace.

Resourceful new dad.

Perfect beach day.

Float and Watch

 I love swimming in the ocean even more at this time of year. While the water is not usually as clear as in the winter, it is warm, warm, warm. So I don't feel driven to keep moving to stay warm, and can lazily float and watch all kinds of underwater critters as they swim by.

Two Selfies plus Color

 Just a few random shots from my beach walk this morning.

This tree perch is always a popular spot for selfies.

This family was doing a self portrait with use of a tripod. My apologies for stealing focus as I walked by.

And always lots of color along the shore.

Wind Chimes and Mermaids

 I had a delightful run-in with a few Mermaids on my ocean swim this morning. They're everywhere.

The way Emperorfish school vertically makes me think of wind chimes rotating in the breeze.

These are fresh turtle tracks in the sand. We now have three nests this season all within a hundred yards of each other.

Anne's Birthday Swim with the Rays

 The Maui Pink Cap Swimmers celebrated Anne's Birthday with visits from at least six different Spotted Eagle Rays and at least two different Manta Rays, plus all the other usual suspects.

Plumeria Time

Summertime seems to also be Plumeria time.

It also seems to be a popular time to visit Wailea beach.
