The Beauty of Turtles

Aren't the turtle buns cute as heck! I found them for Delia for the Brown Symposium. I wanted to look up turtle pics because i read this amazing story about leatherback turtles. Researchers tracked a leatherback swimming from Indonesia to Oregon. They say that the distance may be the longest trip for a marine vertebrae between breeding and feeding sites.

This is a picture of the little (lol) darling. The leatherback was fitted with a satellite tracking device. Amazingly enough, the turtle was sent out July 25, 2003 on a remote beach in Indonesia's Papua province. The turtle swam to the States looking for food, consequently swimming for 13,000 miles. Hopefully this will lead to finding more ways to save endangered animals. They are magnificent creatures.

It's amazing how life throws curve balls at you when you least expect it. I'm glad that everything worked out the way it did. So i'm happy. I have a loving bf, good friends, wonderful family...and overall satisfying life. This is the time to count my blessings. In addition to giving up sweets for lent and exercising more, i've decided to try to attend church as much as possible. I said that "i miss jesus"...when things go wrong, turn to prayer. I know it's not right to only come to Him in need, so i want to get back into the whole routine of daily self-reflect. Hopefully it'll make me a better person.

Cute picture of the day.

It's almost Valentine's Day.
