This is one of the green turtles that I met this past weekend in Barbados — swimming right in front of the hotel that we were staying at. I was hoping to see a few more, but only came across about four or so during our four night stay. I thought that this particular turtle had an especially impressive shell.

Thanks Rachel, we didn’t get around the island much as this was a relax-on-the-beach weekend. We wish we had a bit more time to do some exploring. Next time.
Reminds me of scuba diving somewhere in the Caribbean, likely Bonaire. A turtle allowed me to put my hand on its ‘shoulder’ and we swam together for a ways. It turned its head to look at me and it felt as if we were looking into each other’s eyes. When it had had enough, it zipped away, such a strong swimmer. Delightful experience.

Yes, very impressive shell! Love the comp. I’ve been to Barbados several times. It’s my favorite island. Did you get to the Harrison Caves?

You relaxed on the beach!? I find that hard to believe, but glad to hear!
Beautiful, serene image.
I love the colors. Great shot.
Love this!
