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.
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. Riviera Maya, Mexico...summer 2016.

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?

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