Description
While beach combing in the late afternoon on Lido Beach near Sarasota, Florida, we spotted a sand castle being "recycled" by the incoming tide. After admiring the sand castle, I noticed something manmade hiding a few meters away. There I found these beautiful turtles expertly sculpted in sand. Each turtle is the size of a human hand.
This 21st Century photograph was made with a Nikon D3300.

Congrats on your many features, Norman. Lovely piece. I thought of Martians when I first saw them...... (as in life that can survive sand.) L/f
