Various people got to help the turtles into the water. Were they randomly chosen? Large donors to the Turtle Farm? People who refuse to eat Turtle Soup? Who knows.

I mean, how PC of a photographer am I? Three races in one shot! |
Babies love babies. |

i love the picture of the delighted little girl! so cute!
