It was a turtle kind of day.

This picture was taken, while snorkling at Akumal bay.

This is a turtle my sisters found on the road.

I imagine his legs were pulled in bc he was scared of the Otter which was in the same pond! Taken at Muscatatuck NWR in Jackson Co, IN.

Heavily cropped but I thought it was cool that I also capture a mosquito flying around

i like turtles

Just a turtle I almost ran into.

Believe this is a sun turtle and yes, he is sunning himself. I took it because of the reflection in the calm waters in the cove.

We were lucky enough to see a sea turtle while snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef. Not sure which species we saw; there are six species that live in the reef.

At the pond, 16 years ago in suburban Maryland

these sea turtles in Mexico are huge, my first real encounter with them, and when we swam with them at Akumal Beach, down the coast from where we stayed near Xcaret, you got a real sense of their being and an amazing feeling to be snorkelling above these wonderful animals as they swam along the bottom of the sea bed, occasionally surfacing for air.

Sea turtle swimming right towards me in the water

It’s huddled right in the corner of its glass enclosure, providing a challenge for cropping and brushing out reflections. Could you tell it’s behind glass by looking at this now?

I got down on this little guys level and he actually continued to eat and ignor me!

The edge of shell, the carapace-edge (marginal) scutes, have a nice red design - these appear as the turtle age, it looks like it has been painted on and is where their name comes from.

A small, smooth stone became a cute turtle in one of my early attempts at rock painting.

Found on sidewalk and taken to pond. This was before I figured out that the camera was taking tiny photos by default.
