turltes, turtles, and more turtles

We released about 300 hatchlings down at the cabin, early morning before we went out on partol. They are sooo cute



The underside of one that got flipped over from the tide coming in. too cute


A stranded Green turtle we took to the ARC for a check up. He looked pretty healthy, we were not sure why he had come up on the beach, maybe to get away from a shark.

So did you name each one you released. Sure that is alot of names but I think that they deserve it.

Hi Heather,
Your mom was telling me about your summer, so I thought I would check your your blog. It is fun to see you, and the cute turtles. What and experience... See you in a few weeks. Just one question...Do you think you could get in better shape? I don't think so, you look great!!

That upside-down turtle totally reminds me of Ninja Turtles for a moment: "Help I'm a turtle and I can't get up!"
