23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
A Charming Turtle, Enchanted by a Fellow Tourist, Caught His Eye and Gave Him a Smile!
I visited Le Village des Tortues where injured turtles were brought for rehabilitation. Munching on sprigs of greenery, this turtle began to follow us around. It became obvious that it was enchanted by my fellow traveller. Suddenly, their eyes met and the turtle opened its mouth with a smile!
