saw an amazing sight today. we saw something out in the ocean from our condo window and got the binoculars out and it was 2 giant sea turtles mating. i guess 700 to 800 pounds each. they kept coming closer and closer to shore and when i got these picture they were only a few feet from shore. we have the turtles nest in the sand in front of the condo every year but this was something new to see. it was like being on national geographic.

Gee, I haven't been able to 'mate' that long for a while. Binocular range to shore? I couldn't have lasted that long. Good man, turtle. :)
