A Sea Turtle picture a day # 64


Welcome back to A Sea Turtle Picture A Day. Today we are heading back underwater and over to the west side of the Big Island of Hawaii. This picture is of a Green Sea Turtle(Chelonia mydas) that has a few cleaner fish eating the algae off of its body. This is normal behaviour the turtle gets its shell and body cleaned of algae and the fish get a snack.

This picture was taken with a 12-24 mm lens

See you tomorrow

A Sea Turtle picture a day # 60


Welcome back to A Sea Turtle PIcture A Day. Today is the first day that I am starting to watermark the pictures.I am sorry that I have to do this but people are using them for and that is not why I am posing them. So much for me ranting about this.
Todays picture is a close up of a Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas) that was gliding by me when I was on a dive in Hawaii. This turtle followed me for about 20 minutes totally intrigued by my camera set up and what I was doing. There were times when it seemed that the turtle wanted make sure that I took its picture as it was swimming right up to me.
