Turtles

One of the especially cool things about living on our stretch of beach this time of year is all of the sea turtle nests. In fact, our little area of beach is such a sea turtle hotspot that we can't turn on our balcony lights at night from March through October.
I tried to take some pictures of the nests a few nights ago, but they're much easier to see in the morning before little human feet trample all over the sand.

This is the clearest picture I got - you can see where the mama turtle waddled up the beach, laid her eggs and waddled right back to the ocean. I really want to catch one in action!
I love the beach :)
