Turtle ZZZ's This giant sea turtle was catching some zzz's on Ho'okipa Beach, Maui. I was within 10 feet of this gentle giant and could easily have touched it. I used my Sigma 50-500mm lens and gave the turtle it's space.
Thry are an amazing sea creature. It's facinating how bigg they get and how old they can get age wise. You did a beautiful job of capturing this sleeping gentle giant. You brought out the colors and features. Outstanding work Heather.
Great find Heather, amazing detail!! Love that look of blissful peace on his face. I think I'd do the same in the sun and the sand!

LUCKY YOU Only leave the water for 2 reasons to lay eggs or if they are ill . Have seen them swimming off Palm Beach while drift fishing . They are VERY IMPRESSIVE ...GREAT CATCH...
