Some Photos I Took : )

sorry I haven't been taking pics lately........It's because my better half went on vacation and she took the camera:( Oh well, I'll make up for it when she gets back!!sorry CJ and Sunny...:)
 
No biggy Dr. G! Just enjoy!

Okay, today I went for a nice run and when I got home I was greeted with a nice unexpected surprise. My girlfriend works at the Mote and she gets to do all kinds of cool stuff and sometimes she will invite me to join. So today I blew off kayaking to go with her and help her excavate sea turtle nests with the Sea Turtle Patrol. It was very cool and I really enjoyed! We were on Siesta Key and it was/is a beautiful day. So here are some pics of the baby sea turtles and the eggs they excavated. The eggs went back to the Mote to go into incubators and the baby turtles will be taken by boat out in the ocean, past the ocean shelf.

I will look for my mysterious fish on the canal tomorrow. I am done for the day.

It amazed me how tiny they are. When I go diving and I am lucky enough to see one, they are HUGE! These little guys were the size of half dollars, it amazes me that they will grow to become a 5 foot diameter with such grace. They are truly spectacular, I am looking for a dive pic now, I have a few with some good shots of them...Let me see if I can find them.

Honu, huh? I am going to use that!! I am glad you liked them, they truly are beautiful and the people that donate all their time to help them, well...they are amazing! Today was good, it felt awesome to watch them work and help in any way I could. I will be doing this again for sure!:peace:
 
if I'm lucky enough, I'll try to get a monk seal....they land here ocassionally to sunbathe but its an endangered species so when they come ashore the lifeguards come up with barricades so people keep a distance...also when my sweetie comes back with the camera, I'll get you some local tourist attraction shots:)Kauai Style!!
