20070805j_U320A_IsabelaUrbinaBay_SeaTurtle Green Sea Turtle, Urbina Bay

There were several green sea turtles swimming in the bay, slowly coasting between vegetation-covered rocks and not the slightest bit bothered by us. We were able to spend quite a bit of time just floating nearby, watching them. It was a real thrill for all of us. I love how the pattern on this turtle's head is so similar to that on its shell.
