To experience sea turtles hatching is one of the Nature's miracles
From the artist, Dale Weiler: This piece depicts the magic of loggerhead turtle hatchlings breaking free of their shells and scrambling to the ocean. How can you not fall instantly in love?
Experiencing the mass march of baby sea turtles making their way across the sand to reach the ocean is one of the most memorable miracles in nature. In the sculpture, loggerhead hatchlings have just broken free from their eggs and will begin their journey to the sea.
I saw this miracle of nature for the first time almost 20 years ago. It inspired me to create The Awakening. Each time I look at the bronze, I remember the baby sea turtles and hope some are still swimming in the oceans today.

And I gave Loti the original sculpture of this sea turtle art as a gift when we got engaged (after only 8 days!). Speaking of love, read about our love story in About Us.
