This poor baby turtle was brought back in due to the tides, it should have been 20 miles offshore floating in the seaweed. I had to call the sea turtle patrol to come pick it up. It was brought to a turtle hospital and then a turtle rehab facility before it will be released. I did not get to hold this cutie but I got some great shots of him.

Just went for a walk on thr beach. Originally I thought the turtle had passed until someone flipped it over and I saw his little fins move. I flipped him over, je just started walking. My husband called the Sea Turtle Patrol. They then asked him to pick it up and meet them at the beach access to take it in to get checked out. I took a whole collection of photos while we waited for them. I do know the turtle was released a few months later.Editing

Patience and being in the right place at the right time. I just happened upon this little guy. So, my tip is Always have at least 1 camera on you.
