We're on our way home from Hawaii.

Here is my first image from our two week vacation. Purely by luck we were in Maui for a unique event. There was an algae bloom that turned the pond at the Kealia Wildlife Preserve into a combination of purple and pink water, depending on the light. The algae isn't harming the wildlife.

I don't remember ever seeing water that color, anywhere. You captured the scene at the exact best time of day.
