Turtles!!!

Just seemed like these photos deserved a post of their own.  You aren't supposed to get within 20 feet of the turtles I believe, but, what do you do when they pursue you!!  Dave was happily taking pictures of a turtle in the distance on our last day in Kona, when this turtle came right up to him.  As you can see in the last picture, Dave finally stood up partly to show how close the turtle got and partly because he wasn't sure what the turtle was planning to do...don't they bite?

These fish seem a little too unconcerned swimming up against a turtle...don't turtles eat fish?  I may have to do some research, I don't seem to know much! Ha!



This is where Dave stood up and then thought to take a picture to show proximity.  Those are his swim trunks at the bottom of the screen...fortunately, it's REALLY shallow here! ;O)
