Swimming free off the west coast of the island....so beautiful.

Another view showing the whole turtle. Lighting was with a single flash bounced off of a white umbrella. I like the effect, but it sure is cumbersome. I would set the turtle down, and it usually was out of its shell and crawling away from me before I could get the rig set up. I once saw professional photographers work in Costa Rica, and they took most of their reptile shots in a little portable studio, stocked with native vegetation. It was basically a folding box partly open on one side and above. That way they could set up the lighting just right, and it still looked "natural".

I have always been fond of frogs, snake, toads, lizards, and turtle. Box turtles top the list - they are a marvel - I love the way lock-down in their shell. This is an Eastern Box Turtle. I don't see these as often as I use to.

Sea Turtles are ancient creatures. Some scientists say they are over 110 million years old, while others claim their lineage goes back 140 million years. They were here before the dinosaurs roamed the planet; and yet today, all species are on the IUCN (World Conservation Union) Red List meaning they are facing a high risk of global extinction. The United States Endangered Species Act (ESA) also places sea turtles species as endangered. In addition and unfortunately, scientists believe that leatherback sea turtles could be facing extinction in as little as ten years. Save the Turtles, Inc, stands humbled by these gentle creatures and works towards their survival.
