On my gravestone it's gonna say, "It was that translucent color that did him in".

Breaking ocean wave with sumptuous see-through green color from the sun being at the proper angle. Also, dark clouds.

The Tree had the Moon in her sight
On a beautiful, star-laden night
While declaring her love
For Luna above
She bathed in her warm, glowing light

Single old, bare tree reaching out over the incoming waves of the ocean. The pred-dawn sky is filled with moonlight that is reflecting on the ocean. The muted sky colors are blues and pinks.

If it seems like I take a lot of pics of crashing waves, it's actually because I take a lot of pics of crashing waves.

Waves crashing against shoreline of lava rock inlets and coral.

There's a gecko who comes to the bathroom window each night when I turn on the light. No wonder she can scale anything... look at the grippers on her feet!!!!!

Close up thru a window of the underneath of a gecko against the dark night and reflection. Her toes are lined with rubbery stickers.

Big waves that look like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Wind blown spray covering breaking waves that give the impression of running horses (to me, anyway). Photo from wide angle, high on a cliff

The cliffs are probably 25+ feet high, which makes this splash 40 or 50 ft high. Amazing power on a surfy day.

These rocks look like two turtles smooching. Like some cool ancient folklore.

#marinelife #Maui #sunset #love #nature #nokings #photography

Sunset with lots of yellow and pink in the sky. Rocks in the foreground connect over a small cave as green water is all around.

On a scale of 1 to 10, last night's sunset was ridiculous.

Oceanfront sunset over lava rocks. Clouds are red and rich, soft blues. Ocean reflecting the deep red color.

Dramatic contrast in light as a large, breaking bright green wave is lit by the sun against a very dark and stormy sky. Empty beach in front.

Long shadows shortly after #sunrise make for some nice colorfication. 🦑

Stormy with a few rays of sun is a good recipe for photos.

Superzoomed close-up of the a.m. ocean - the spots that look like lights/candles are the rising sun reflecting off the crests.

On the ocean-adjacent lava fields near the slopes of Haleakala on Maui, wild goats are busy doing their thing.
