JUST FOR FUN: Finding Gamera on the Beach



We were lucky enough to get away and enjoy a little sun and sand this weekend. Although most of these outings turn up some interesting sea creatures, it's the first time we've captured anything more exotic than a run of the mill clam or sea crab.

Pictured above is a sea turtle our son and his little friend found near a storm drain. For those of you old enough to remember, don't you think he bears a striking resemblance to a Japanese celebrity? :p


Check out these special effects (you may have to go directly to YouTube to view) ...

    1. Lisa, I'm so happy to be rereading Oscar. Even though it's written by a Dominican, in an odd way it's like being home. Love. It.

  6. The resemblance is dead on! (note-I'm playing the video above and typing at the same time and Daniel just broke out singing the song..... HA! I didn't even know he knew it) Ok, so back to what I was typing. When we went to the beach, there were signs everywhere, stating if we saw a sea turtle to inform the front desk (of where we were staying) that it was illegal to touch them etc... I guess Florida is one of the places sea turtles will lay their eggs.
