Tortugas means turtle, so dry tortugas means dry turtles. Dry Tortugas is located in Florida. Many people visit maybe because of its size or maybe because it’s so close to the water. Dry Tortugas National Park is 100 square miles.
My favorite animal is a sea turtle. I like sea turtles because I like their beautiful colors. I like the shape of their arms and legs. I love the way they crawl across the sand. It’s sad how only about ⅛ of the babies make it to the sea. I also like the cool designs on their shell. Sea turtles are very cool to me. Here's some information I collected about Georgia O'Keeffe and the websites where I found the information: Beginning in 1929, when she began working part of the year in Northern New Mexico—which she made her permanent home in 1949—O’Keeffe depicted subjects specific to that area http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_O%27Keeffe Georgia O'Keeffe was born on November 15, 1887 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_O%27Keeffe Her parents, Francis Calyxtus O'Keeffe and Ida (Totto) O'Keeffe, were dairy farmers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_O%27Keeffe Georgia O'Keeffe was born in Sun Prairie http://www.notablebiographies.com/Ni-Pe/O-Keeffe-Georgia.html Her husband showed her showed work to the public for the first time in 1916 Married in 1924, the two formed a professional and personal partnership that lasted until his death in 1946 http://www.biography.com/people/georgia-okeeffe-9427684p Later, while living in New York, she studied with such artists as William Merritt Chase as a member of the Art Students League. http://www.biography.com/people/georgia-okeeffe-9427684 After frequently visiting New Mexico since the late 1920s, O'Keeffe moved there for good in 1946 after her husband’s death and explored the area's rugged landscapes in many works http://www.biography.com/people/georgia-okeeffe-9427684#synopsis
