What an incredible picture. When you say beached, does that mean he had no ability to get back to the ocean? Poor thing.
You asked about my photo, and you're totally right about the location! We were on a school field trip to a Balboa Park museum, and I took those pics before we met up with his class. Good eye!
That looks like a Loggerhead Turtle but I don't know if they have those in the Pacific or not. I soooo hope that the guy/girl was ok. Do you have a Sea Turtle Rescue place there? Our wildlife hospital here has three tanks and we have had quite a few as patients over the years.
Wow, that's awesome! We lived in Hawaii (Oahu) 7 years ago and we never saw a turtle like that!! Thanks for commenting on my blog! It's always a treat to see that someone left one! God bless you! Alicia
Ummmm....it looks washed up to me, there are no track marks & her eyes don't look so good. I hope I'm wrong & she was just coming ashore to lay eggs. As a child in Northern Australia we watched the turtles come ashore to lay their eggs, slow but amazing!
I am the mother of three active and affectionate little boys, ages 6, 3, and 1. They are truly gifts. I love life as a boy mom. I am honored that God has called me to raise future husbands. I hope they grow up to be just like their daddy, Dr. Romance. We met in an elevator in college. He has a PhD in Something Important, but I call him Dr. Romance. We were married on the Fourth of July twelve years ago just so we could call those fireworks "ours." We are living in the Boston area through June, while Dr.Romance is working at Harvard. We call ourselves the "uncommons" as a play on the Boston Common site, because we are from the land of palm trees and all things laid back. I hold a B.A. in History from UCLA, a teaching credential from CSUN, and an M.Ed. in Administration and Supervision from UVA. Those are my lesser accomplishments. Most importantly I love Jesus.
Oh I hope he got back to the water!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture. We were Maui in April and got to swim with the sea turtles. It was really fun. We didn't see any on land, though.
ReplyDeleteWow, he looks big! Hope he's ok.
ReplyDeleteHUGE!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, that so cool :)
ReplyDeleteSwimming with the turtles was one of our most memorable moments from our trip to Oahu. It was so cool to be that close to a large sea creature.
ReplyDeleteIn all my years here, I still have not seen a honu on the beach. Maybe one day.
