Trampled by Turtles
Over sixty sea turtles hatched the night before December 1st. It was a great way to go into the holiday season: with a renewed spirit and tiny trails across the sand. This photo captures their exit from the nest, as many still have sand covering their faces. It was a quick few minutes to army crawl their way to the water, before they vanished into the sea.
