17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A loggerhead turtle coming a shore to lay its eggs during the late morning on shoreline of Vero Beach, Florida.
I was walking the shoreline of Disney's Vero Beach with my family in search of seashells one last time before heading out. I had decided to walk down the right side of the shoreline and I glanced a head to see this giant loggerhead turtle emerge from the ocean to lay her eggs in the late morning. This photo captures the loggerhead turtle crawling to a nearby nest to lay her eggs. Her head held high continuing to climb up shore to lay her eggs.
