The Sea Turtle in Fethiye

☆★  ☆★  ☆★  ☆★  ☆★  ☆★  ☆★  ☆★  ☆★  ☆★  ☆★  ☆★  ☆★ 
 

Today after lunch, Matthew and Elliot took their usual route “home” along the edge of the yacht dock.  Matthew prefers taking this route because he thoroughly enjoys watching the fish and feeds them any bread left over from his lunch. But today, they were in for a special treat! After stopping briefly to look into the shallow waters near the edge, they inspected the small fish that were hanging out, per usual.  But, as they begun to walk onward, Elliot spotted a huge sea turtle surfacing the water for a breath, and quickly plunging back into the depths.  He screamed and pointed and insisted Matthew look immediately!  Matthew only caught the last moments of the turtle being visible, but was eager to see him again.  The two watched intensely as this beautiful sea creature came to the surface several more times in different places.  He was yellow & orange and had algae growing on his giant shell.

KNITTING UPDATE: my first knit hat.

Made with 4.5mm needles. I made up the stitch pattern myself (altered from this one: http://www.redheart.com/free-patterns/easy-fit-ribbed-hat )
I started the hat in Budapest and finished it in Prague.
This is the second thing I've made.
 
NOT BAD, AY?!
