More beautiful scenes from Kapalua, Maui...

A typical Hawaiian reef scene with denizens...

This gathering of fish proved to be magical as we stared into each others' eyes and contemplated our unforeseeable future together. But it didn't matter what our collective fate held. Because I loved them. And they loved me. And in the end. That is all that really matters...
