The highlight of anyone's trip to Hawaii a swimming encounter with a sea turtle. I was fortunate to have this encounter with 5 feeding turtles on a rocky point near the beach.

At the Sarett Nature Center in Berrien County, Michigan, May 2005. Reminds me of my days at the University of Maryland.
In my mums garden's pont there are turtles. They don't want to be photographed, but this one stood very still for ones

We crossed paths just as there was a brief break in the clouds. This mature turtle's carapace was a bit over a foot long. Gotta love the lens's 1.5 m minimum focusing distance!
The encounter resulted in a mud-bellied photographer.

The fourth turtle I have rescued off the road so far this year. Biggest one yet, about 7" long. Culpeper County, Virginia, US.
Woah, my turtle! She's HUGE, and eats only meat and fish. Beware, she's dangerous. She should be about ten years old now...I bought her with another turtle: they were called Tarta and Ruga ( Tartaruga=turtle in Italian). Unfortunately, Tarta died ^_^'
Per gli italiani: Ecco la mia enorme tartaruga Ruga, che mangia solo carne, è vecchia ed è pericolosa. Ne avevo due: Tarta e Ruga X'D ma Tarta morta ^_^'
This big ol' one-eyed snapping turtle was found along a road in Westminster. It was rescued from certain doom by one of our kindly bio lab assistants and will soon be living in a nearby park. He's enjoying a fresh spinach leaf.
He must have felt lazy today...I got within about five feet of him before he slid back into the pond. =)
Nantucket, Ma. A favorite place for kids, they would tie chicken drumsticks on strings to feed to the snapping turtles.
