From the sea turtle release -- Virginia Aquarium. I thought about entering the group shot, and maybe I should have.

This is Drake. He was a cold stun found, rescued and rehabilitated. He was released back into the ocean on August 31.



I'll have to double check, but I believe he was in rehabilitation for 243 days. From the NOAA Fisheries site: The term “cold stunning” refers to the hypothermic reaction that occurs when sea turtles are exposed to prolonged cold water temperatures. Initial symptoms include a decreased heart rate, decreased circulation, and lethargy, followed by shock, pneumonia and possibly death.

Thanks for the comments!

Not sure what this has to do with "nature of time", but it's a nice photo.
