My father always saves turtles along the road....I never even see any.

I managed a couple of great closeups of this green sea turtle while it lingered on the surface at the so-called "Turtle Town" reef off of Kanahena in southern Maui.

This little dude was wandering along the path (to the extent that turtles can "wander"). I had to lie on my stomach to get this. Believe it or not he was only around 9 inches long so was never really going to rush me and monster me
