Next up- Beach!

Next up was the reason we came to Jekyll, the turtle hospital. It was SO COOL! I took mostly video there, which I cant upload right now. The majority of their patients are there from boat strikes and disease. They are rehabilitated and released into the wild. Unless they are incapacitated somehow, then they go to aquariums. One of the Georgia Sea Turtles went to the Oklahoma aquarium. We also did a turtle walk later that evening with the Sea Turtle hospital. No photography (light) allowed. We didn't see a nesting mom. But we did see a nest. And some bioluminescent algae. And lots of stars.

Met this guy at lunch. Apparently, Georgia raccoons aren't nocturnal.

Or, I will just request a serious, old timey look. Like you are in a frame. The heat, mosquitos and hunger ended this fun photo shoot and we headed to lunch.

Max, We have ways of making you laugh...

And we came upon the Horton house. The oldest structure on the island. It was built using Tabby. A mixture of mortar/oyster shells and stucco. It pre-dates the revolutionary war.

We took a few family pics too. Went to great lengths to illicit a natural Max smile. Well, maybe not "great" lengths. But lengths.

Technical difficulties. Not all my posts made it to the blog. Tired. Will try later.

Then we took some pics with a pretty live oak. We tried hard to get a natural smile from Max. When that didn't work I tried shooting around him.

Then we found several hermit crabs and had fun with them.
