Sea Turtles in Hawaii

Sea turtles live most of their long lives in the deep ocean. The females swim many miles to the beach to lay their eggs.

As the coastline has become developed, there are very few secluded places like this left for them to lay their eggs.

This spot in Hawaii, USA is one of the few remaining where the turtles
are safe from predators long enough for the eggs to hatch. Soon after hatching, the young turtles and their mothers swim into the ocean.

Zuma Beach

While I do not advocate feeding the animals at the beach, I photographed this man at Zuma Beach in Malibu doing just that. He has been feeding seagulls there for many years. He is able to get them to eat out of his hand. They flutter above him until he is ready to release the food.
