Turtle Day!!!

Today at the beach I was greeted first thing by the tracks of a rare green turtle who, during the night, had laid her clutch of eggs. Then saw a friend who said there was a loggerhead farther south who had just come ashore. They usually come during the darkness of night so a 6:30 a.m. sighting is rare indeed. I headed south to see if she was still there. She was! Here are two photos. The second one she was finally finished — after about 2 hours — and headed back to sea. I took some video too and will post it later. Here's just an appetizer.

Couldn't ask for a better Monday morning beginning than this one.
