Just a short little post of a nice, but slightly overcast day out at China Walls at Portlock, O'ahu, HI.

Gliding effortlessly through the rough ocean and high waves it's a, um, a big black blob. No, it's a Hawaiian Endangered Monk Seal. 'Ilio-holo-i-ka-uaua in Hawaiian which translates into
dog that runs i
n the rough seas. The seal didn't mind the swimmers and surfers that swam nearby. I could hardly keep up snapping pictures of the fast swimmer. I was thrilled to witness a threatened and endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal in the wild. That was and is a very rare occurrence. Happy, Happy, Happy!!!
Aloha,
Lei
