Same turtle from earlier, just a different angle.
I have 45 images that I took the time to process sitting in a folder labeled "Flickr" that I haven't bothered to upload. So I'm going to upload a whole bunch of them so I can just be done with it!
she was attempting to make a nest right where my neighbor backs her car up so I had to interupt her and locate her to my backyard where she just disapeared into the foilage somewhere.
Just now, during a heavy monsoon rain, Ron and I saw a turtle in our backyard. We went outside, grabbed it, and took some pictures of it. We let it go assuming it was native.

At Laniakea Beach, sea turtles will often eat algae from the rocks at the beach, then crawl ashore to sun themselves. None were sitting on the beach on the day we went, but several were swimming in waist deep water. Unfortunately, the surf was pretty strong, and it makes the underwater shots cloudy with all the sand and bubbles being stirred up.
