GOOD EYES

There's always some fun nature to experience on Sanibel. With the Wild Life Preserve there, it's pretty much guaranteed, but the fact that it's tropical Florida is enough I suppose.

The pond across the lane from Mema & Pop's house is known to have gators in it (there was about a 7 footer this past week) and always has several turtles.

One day on the way to the beach Tobin was lagging behind as normal. He started yelling to us (as is normal) until we finally came back to see what the fuss was about. Amongst the tropical foliage next to the road, he'd spotted a baby turtle. It was no larger around than the top of a pop can. Somehow he saw it creeping along.

It was a neat little find, and I'm glad he was stubborn enough (he's ALWAYS stubborn enough) to make us walk back and see.
