The Numbers Game #125

Ferns curl overhead.

The idea of The Numbers Game is to enter a number into the search bar of your computer and then post a selection of the photos that turn up. This week’s number is 247. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.

Turtle breath, too

A Green Turtle takes a breath in the waters off Hawaii

A few days ago, I posted photos of a small Green Turtle I saw coming up for breaths before diving down to rest. Brian mentioned that it would be great to see the nose sticking out of the water too, and I responded that every time I tried for that shot it was either out of focus or there was no turtle to be seen!

On Saturday, I ran into what I think was the same turtle doing the same thing. This time I got a shot where the turtle’s head can actually be seen. Mind you, even when the turtle isn’t clear, the resulting photo can still be interesting.
