A Sea Turtle picture a day #5


Welcome back to A Sea Turtle Picture a day. Today we are heading back to the Big Island of Hawaii,The picture that I am posting today is of a Green Sea turtle (Chelonia mydas).This particular turtle was eating algae off of the rocks in this shallow tide pool.I was sitting in the sand along the waters edge with a telephoto lens to get the close up detail in the shot.
What I remember most about getting this picture is the hours that I sat in the sand getting totally sunburned waiting for the Green Turtle to come up for a breath of air and at the same time be looking at me. This was the only shot out of many I took that day that I kept.
See you tomorrow
