ReplyDeleteGorgeous. But then, that's all you ever post here. He really does look sleepy! Then again I've heard those guys have a life expectancy in the triple digits, and if I were to live that long I suspect I'd nod off now and then myself.
ReplyDeleteActually I do that now!
Thanks everyone. I'm thinking I should post turtle photos more often. Everyone seems to like them.
ReplyDelete@ Rob Ripma - Good to know you had the chance to swim with our sea turtles here in Hawaii.
@ feefifoto - Yes I took the photo, seriously! Now get up. :-D
@ Dennis the Vizsla - I hadn't thought of using a photo like this for a wallpaper, but thanks for the idea.
@ Jenn Thorson - It is amazing -- something we never tire of.
@ Mojo - Yes, sea turtles can indeed live to a very old age. Most of the ones we see like this are, shall we say, "middle-aged" critters.
