The poetry is simple and the photographs that accompany them are so vivid. The book ends with details more about the animals in each of the photographs.

Sea Turtle Takes Video From Sea

This video has just gone viral on YouTube. A military person lost his camera around Aruba about a year ago before it washed up in Key West, Florida. Somewhere between that time a sea turtle got a hold of it and turned it on. There's mostly just a lot of movement in and out of the water with a few shots of the turtle here and there, but the picture quality is gorgeous. It's just neat that the turtle turned the camera on, even if accidentally. Of course, those reptiles aren't that dumb. For instance, I worked with a tortoise that was rather adept at moving barricades out of the way that were keeping him from "expanding his horizons".
