Excavating the turtle nest
Tonite the marine biologist and volunteers decided to excavate the sea turtle nest before tomorrow's storms over-washes the nest and drowns any surviving turtles.
At sunset, about 100 person including spectators, volunteers and the staff gathered and the volunteers began the delicate job of excavating the nest. There hope was to find one or two live babies. At last count they had found 26 live turtles and about one dozen "peekers." Peekers are eggs where the turtle has begun to beck at the egg. They have been placed in a tub with the live one in the hopes that the live one's activity will stimulate those to continue pecking at their shell.
After dark, the biologist will release all the babies very near the nest and send them on the 100 yard journey from the nest to the beach.
Many more photos which I'll try to form into a video.

Preying Mantis
Took this on my walk at the Y. I was down on my knees trying to take this shot & two women stopped their car and asked, "Are you alright?"

Fire Scarred Giant Sequoia Tree.
Fire does not harm these trees. In fact, they require it to thrive.
