Hey guys, a couple of weeks ago my wife and I went out to Northshore and a Turtle started to beach up right in front of us

These turtles are so amazing and beautiful....

Making his way up...

I didn't get to see any sea turtles when I went to the Northshore some years ago... But I did get to see a Cardinal there. So if you go back - keep your eyes open. I was on the location for the TV show "LOST" & there was a Cardinal running around the set on the location. Only realized I had the shot a few months ago.

Nice shots & I especially like the first one.

Oh yah the Cardinals out here in Hawaii look a little different and are very beautiful. I live here so I will try to get some on camera when I get my long lens

They are funny little birds, the other day my wife and I saw one Cardinal messing around with a bunch of chickens and roosters. It was the funniest thing, wish I had my camera..

Welcome to finally posting on FM! These are pretty nice captures...would have liked to have seen them shot a bit lower, however.

Thank you Trenchmonkey

You are right I was trying to shoot them lower but it was so difficult too as the minute the turtle starting coming ashore a Wild Life Officer immediatley roped the area off and started to make examinations to the turtle. Thanks for the C&C it is much appreciated from a great photographer!

wonderful captures. Green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) frequently bring themselves upon the beaches in HI to bask...something they typically don't do elsewhere.

I hope to make it out there at some point to catch this sort of action

Thanks for sharing and welcome to FM!
