Stunning sunset tonight

From our new timeshare unit we can see the sunset, and tonight, after a rainy day, it has been gorgeous!

The sunset lights up the white resort so beautifully. The cloud, lower than the peak of the volcano behind us, is beautiful too!

Even the ocean looked orange!

Dancing dolphins 🐬

Our local pod of Spinner dolphin were having a wonderful time yesterday! We were at the pool and they were right off shore! These aren’t cropped, taken at about 300mm

Our Lagoon had a visitor

From our unit we took these!

Not sure if this fellow is a green sea turtle or leatherback. Loggerhead, or 1 of the other 5 types seen in Hawaiian waters, but chances are it’s a green sea turtle, Honu, the most often seen!

Beautiful full moon

But it is setting here in the morning over Kailua Kona

6:45 AM, and the sun isn’t quite over the volcano behind us, Hualalai, but the moon is setting over the Pacific
