A Sea Turtle picture a day # 50


Welcome back to A Sea Turtle Picture A Day. Today we are going to stay above the surface of the water and head over to Hawaii. This picture is of a Green Sea Turtle that is resting on the rocks. I just love the detail in the face of this turtle. Hawaii is only one of 2 places in the world where Sea Turtles haul out on the shore to rest in the sun. Both male and female do. Everywhere else only females haul out and that is for the purpose of laying eggs.
This picture was taken with a 70-200 mm telephoto lens
See you tomorrow
