Description
The lagoon I posted the other day was at Punalu'u** Black Sand Beach (thank you, Errol!!). For a fairly small place, it's full of beauty and wonder. As we left, this turtle graced us with her presence. I was about 20 feet away from her, respected her space. She allowed me to take her foto and I am grateful.

Great photo!
awesome shot Marilyn x 5+
They always look so troubled, but I don't suppose they are!

Great shot Marilyn. Turtles are protected in Hawaii. You are forbidden to get within 15 feet of them. Especially, when they lay their eggs. Aloha
Great shot Marilyn, I'm intrigued by the black sand as much as the turtle!
Oh my - I have heard of black sand beach and have seen many documentaries on it - and there you were... with a beautiful turtle gracing you with her presence!!! What a beautiful and very special image Marilyn!!! WOW!
Nice to see them crawling up on the sand. Saddle up on them....and maybe get a picture of you riding the turtles? lol. Excellent shot. Aloha
Weather beaten look...this is probably a senior turtle looking for a place to cash her Social Security check.
She looks tired and in need of some rest. Great capture.
Wow...what an amazing sight!
superlative shot!!
How fortunate to see something like this! The black sand is beautiful (reminds me of my foundry days, buying chromite sand) and it really shows off the turtle. Great shot!
She looks as though she has had a hard day. Great that she let you take her pic.
superb capture
looks like a big one too.
A face only a Mother could luv?? .... WINK. GREAT shot! .... T.P.

You may have gotten her photo but she sure doesn't seem to be smiling over it. :-) What a sour face. LOL Great shot.
