Don't bother me, I'm eating

Posted by Doug (Long Beach, United States) on 20 July 2009 in Animal & Insect.

A green sea turtle dines on algae just below the surface, mere feet from shore. This is on the Kohala part of the Big Island of Hawai'i.

A couple other shots of this magnificent creature can be seen here.

Thanks for stopping by. Any comments are highly appreciated. I may not always reply, but I will visit your page (eventually). Keep shooting.

More of my photos can be seen on Doug's other photo mission.


One of my photos was used as the cover of a book. Details can be found here.
