I have seen green turtles in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Indian Ocean. I still get very facinated by them every time I spot them. On Apo Island they were not shy and I could come really close to them to make macro shots. My personal favorite shot is still: www.flickr.com/photos/raven_malta/3176983903/in/set-72157...

At the turtle farm on Grand Cayman they had big pools with giant turtles swimming in them. Some of the turtle pens opened onto a beach area that the turtles could climb up on. I think it was just too hot at the time of day that we were there and so the turtles were all piled up in the pools to keep cool.

I really think the turtle in the foreground was sweating!

It was a bright day. You can see the harsh shadows in the front.But I got to get that shot.So went for it :)

The first turtle I've seen in 2009. I went on to see about 30 more today, including a snapping turtle.

He stayed nice and still for me.

Male box turtle moved out of Ely's Ford Rd, Culpeper County, VA.

Our turtle, Murphy, is still molting. The bits of shell that you can see curling up are called scutes.

These fellows are all over the islands. This guy is about 3 feet long and was in a tiny pool of water near a black sand beach on the southern end of the Big Island of Hawaii.

Still coming to terms with being an unfit turtle parent.

Diane: "SRY Pete."

Pete was nervous about his looming adventure into the wild.

These turtles are actually full of red hot lava, which you can see through the cracks in their skin.

People are required to stay at least 15 feet away from them, to avoid getting burned.

2 turtles chilling at the chinese garden

me: Cyril is snoozing on the island and Lucius has already gone to bed.

Mike: turtles can't " go to bed".

me: yes they can.

Mike: they don't have beds.

me: they sleep under their island at night.

Mike: that's not a bed.

me: you don't have to have a bed to "go to bed".
