On the East Coast of Florida, Sea Turtles return to lay their eggs during hot summer nights. Got up early one morning and saw this Loggerhead Turtle laying her eggs in the pre-dawn hours. When she finished and was heading back to the Atlantic the sun had not yet risen and I was able to get this shot from the balcony of our 6th floor condo. Very rare occurance to see one of these marvels of nature in the daylight!
The turtle may be a small aspect in the composition but what I like is the trail going to and from her nest.
All feedback and comments are most welcome.

5 commentsI really like the story this image tells - I didn't have to read your commentary to fully understand what had happened here. From a purely photographic perspective I really like the brown to blue transition that parallels the direction of the trail. This one works really well for me...well-seen and well-captured!
Cheers...thanks for sharing this one...
