A Sea Turtle picture a day #16


Welcome back to a Sea Turtle picture a day. Today we are heading to the west side of the Big Island of Hawaii.I was walking along the shore line in the early afternoon when I spotted a couple of Green Sea turtles(Chelonia mydas) foraging in the tide pools.I picked a spot where I wouldn't get my cameras wet and sat down and watched the guys in the tide pool. This particular turtle noticed me and started to pay attention to where I was sitting.It worked its way pretty close to me.I don't know why it approached me but it presented a very good opportunity for me to get a few really good pictures.
This picture was taken with a 70-200mm lens
See you tomorrow
