This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme, guest hosted by Cathy at Between the Lines is ‘Your Favorite Places.’ See more responses here.
The ocean is one of my favorite places. I love snorkeling and every swim is different, the conditions and the things I see. Here’s a sample. Captions on the photos.
I saw this little turtle on consecutive days last weekend. Both times, it had three remoras on its shell. Two are definitely Slender Remoras, and the third is probably the same, though less easily identified in the photos I took. The remoras don’t harm the turtle, except for possibly slowing it down a bit, though this turtle looked pretty speedy regardless.
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 233. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.

I was trying to get a photo of a turtle taking a breath – harder to get than dragonflies flying – but I liked the sparkles on the water I got by chance!
This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Ten.’ See more responses here. January of 2016 was the first full month for this blog, so I thought I’d post a few photos that ran back then.
On a recent swim, I’d just seen one turtle swim by, when I turned and saw this turtle approaching. It was quite small, which I like because it means they’re younger and often more curious. The other plus is that their shells are usually in great condition. This one’s certainly was, and the light was such that it positively glowed.
The turtle came quite close, then decided I wasn’t interesting after all and slid away, following the other turtle.
