Pond Reflections.

Cloud Reflections in

a Pond

 Looking deep into the Sky.

Looking back to 2011.

Pelicans at rest.

 The day I shot these photos, the Pelicans

were feeding on an abundance of small

fish in a creek 15 feet below this dead

tree. There were too many Pelicans to count.

It was cold, misting rain, and a half tide.

The year 2011.

Very large Woodpecker.

Took these Photos in my yard.

  WOW, all i can say.

 Fungus ??

 Driving along spotted
this on a tree.

It is similar to a Sulfur Shelf Mushroom

 I have seen but it is more of a bright yellow until is gets old and drys up.

Looking Back

                   Sometime around the time of the Freeze.

Green Heron ?

Green Heron, I assume.

                          A blast from the past.

The Eagle.

 I snapped these pics while the eagle was

feeding on a fresh kill.

Sea Turtle Excursion.

Late September our family was

fortunate to be selected to go on an

excavation of a Sea Turtle nest 5 days

after the little ones had left the nest. 

The purpose was to monitor how many 

hatched and unhatched eggs were 

in the nest,as well as to free any hatch ling

stragglers there might. Some of them get

hung up in the soft shells and must be freed.

Some time the dig can get all the way up to the Shoulder.

It must be dug by hand, feeling to prevent injury to the stragglers.

The hatching's are a little larger than a quarter.

Above and below, trapped in the shell, and need assistance.

The hatched eggs are counted,as well as the unhatched, and

stragglers that are released. Careful records are kept.

There were 18 nests on Tybee Island this year,the 

record number is around 23. 

Below placed in a bucket where they will be released 

 to the ocean when count is finished.

Below there was a lecture before the dig and

5 month old grandson was mesmerized.

We're going to let them go

Below is Ike now in the Ocean some where off the Florida coast.

Thanks to the Tybee island Marine Science Center.

My Wife's Plant.

I don't know the name of this

plant. Mad snapper offered Sedum.

Sooo What say you ?

                   Perhaps the plant will  

                 mutate into a man eater!!
