The snorkelling around Lord Howe is wonderful. My use of my little waterproof point and shoot does not really match the quality of the things you could see - which is a real shame as the fish and corals were really very colourful.
We were snorkelling off Old Settlement Beach when we found this Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas) - well, thats what I think it is! This area of the island is well known for turtles, and by the end of the swim we had seen at least 3, and maybe four.
These are the best pictures I managed.

You can find more shots from around the world at Our World Tuesday.
The pictures may not be award-winning, Stewart, but I am sure the experience was.
ReplyDeleteLooks good to me. And you enjoyed the experience so what could be better?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean? Those are great photos. The turtle's camouflage is remarkable too.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Great shots of the turtles!

Beautiful turtles!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit and comment on my blog. In answer to your question - the fields and pastures look brown and dry because the cold Winter weather has killed the grass. But actually we have had a lot of rain recently, and combined with milder weather in the forecast, it will make the fields green up again.
Have a wonderful week!
