Description
Keeping a respectful distance, I took a photo of this Honu Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle resting on Punaluu Beach in the afternoon, on the island of Hawai’i. “The Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle is the only indigenous reptile found in Hawaii, but for Hawaiians, the Honu is a symbol of good luck in the form of a guardian spirit, or Aumakua. The Honu pattern is depicted in ancient petroglyphs as well as in modern graphic form. For Hawaiians then and now, the Honu represents the navigator, and the eternal link between man, the land and the sea.”
