Turtle Hunting

I've started my turtle safari. The Turtle Trails statues are a promotional effort by the Child Guidance Center and corporate sponsors to raise funds for the non-profit.

Statues are placed around Jacksonville similar to the manner of previous efforts - the Jaguar statues in 2007, the Manatee statues in 2003 and each sponsored by different corporations and local companies. All statues have the same pose and build, but are individually painted and crafted by local artists.

Here's the first statue:

Monty the Monarch Turtle

Here's a link to my Flickr site where I will be posting the rest of the images of the turtles.
