Green Sea Turtle / by Dave Hileman

I almost walked into this fellow which would have been a serious faux pas because you are not supposed to get closer than about 20 feet from a sea turtle. I just arrived at the beach, it was so pretty and there were small fish jumping and a Black-crowned Night Heron fishing on a rock 10 feet from shore. So I was taking photos and moving left to get a better frame when about 4 feet from said turtle I stopped and looked to my immediate left and there he was. So I backed off a few feet and shot several photos of him and the beach. There were also 4 in the water. Going back early Friday morning before our flight to Maui.
