Playing tourist at the North Carolina Aquarium and Salt Marsh at Pine Knoll Shores, and at Fort Macon State Park – September 20 & 21<\/h4>\n

YES WE DID<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, we did pay a nice man to take our picture against a green background so they could frame us, digitally, in cute, smiling rays.<\/p>\n

NIMBUS<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nimbus, a fifty pound loggerhead turtle with a cleft palate has found a home at the aquarium. He was rescued in 2000 by a North Carolina Wild Life Resources Commission volunteer. In addition to his cleft palate, Nimbus is blind in one eye and has very little pigment in his shell, making him\u00a0a poor candidate for survival in the wild.<\/p>\n

That’s one way to say, “Not so easy on the eyes.” Unless you are Stephanie, who loves octopuses and probably thinks they are beautiful. Not sure about snapping turtles. Maybe no one but The Turtleman<\/a> loves snappers.<\/p>\n
