On Wednesday, June 24, The Virginia Aquarium Stranding Response Team released six rehabilitated Kemp’s ridley turtles that were hooked by recreational fishermen. The Kemp’s ridley is the most endangered sea turtle species.
This year’s naming theme for rehab patients at the Aquarium is “Disney characters.”
• Elsa was hooked at Little Island Fishing Pier in Sandbridge on May 21. The hook was caught in the upper esophagus and was successfully removed under sedation at Beach Pet Hospital. After treatment with antibiotics and nutritional support, Elsa is ready to be released back to the ocean.
• Minnie Mouse was hooked on June 8 at Little Island Fishing Pier in Sandbridge. Minnie was taken to Beach Pet Hospital and the hook was removed easily under mild sedation. After a couple of weeks of nutritional support, Minnie is ready for release.
• Sven was hooked on June 8 at Buckroe Fishing Pier in Hampton. Sven swallowed a large shark hook that was removed under sedation at Beach Pet Hospital. Once some mild swelling resolved, Sven began eating well and is ready for release.
• Scar was hooked on June 9 at Buckroe Fishing Pier in Hampton. The hook was removed without sedation. Scar’s blood work and x-rays showed no other health concerns and after some nutritional support, Scar is ready for release.
• Genie was hooked on June 9 at Virginia Beach Fishing Pier on 15th Street. The fisherman reported using a small J-hook, but no hook was observed when the Stranding Response team arrived. Genie’s blood work and x-rays showed no other health concerns. Genie received nutritional support and is ready for release.
• Pumba was hooked on June 19 at Virginia Beach Fishing Pier on 15th Street. Pumba was caught by a treble hook in the corner of the mouth that was removed with minimal damage. Pumba’s x-rays and blood work showed no other health concerns and Pumba is ready for a quick release back to the sea. Hakuna matata!
The Stranding Response Team urges anyone who sees a hooked turtle to call the 24-hour hotline 757 385-7575. Bring the turtle up onto the pier or boat using a net, do not attempt to remove the hook yourself, and keep the turtle contained in a quiet, shaded area until Stranding Response personnel arrives.

I came(no pun intended) across a used condom laying on the ground next to the midway. Somebody rode something else.
Safed or Tzfas is a city in the Northern District of Israel. Located at an elevation of 900 metres (2,953 ft), Safed is the highest city in the Galilee and in Israel. Since the 16th century, Safed has been considered one of Judaism's Four Holy Cities, since that time, the city has remained a center of Kabbalah, also known as Jewish mysticism.
The Ari Ashkenazi Synagogue, located in Safed, Israel, was built in memory of Rabbi Isaac Luria, (1534 - 1572), who was known as the "Ari".It dates from the late 16th-century, it being constructed several years after the death of Luria, a great kabbalist who arrived in Safed in 1570. The synagogue is known for its colorful and ornate Holy Ark. It may be the oldest synagogue in Israel that is still in use.

The other day we went to Tzfat, one of the four holy cities for Jews and the center of Kabbalah study. It was a grown-up trip. Petya rented a car, and we joined him. Tzfat is all about mountains, up and down, just like our Haifa. And lots and lots of Haredim—“those who tremble before God”—religious Jews. Yeshivas (institutions of higher learning in Judaism, where the Talmud and other traditional Jewish disciplines are studied, as well as preparing candidates for the rabbinate) are everywhere. Many young Haredi men with suitcases—they came to study.
We were, I believe, very lucky. We stumbled upon a wedding. I was hesitant to take photos. I suppose it’s a part of my current stage of growing older. But I couldn’t resist—I joined the crowd of photographers and clicked the button a couple of times. The bride was stunning.
The crowd was friendly. We went down another street because Petya wanted to visit a very old synagogue, the Abuhav Synagogue, with painted ceilings. We tried to bypass the wedding procession, which is no easy task in the narrow streets of Tzfat. And we ran into them again.
They were just entering the synagogue. We were invited in, too. Everyone was given a cookie.

Halloween 2013 Forgot my cable at work so I am unable to upload any of my photos taken today. This shot was taken with my crappy less than one megapixel i-Pod camera last year. Why, Apple...? 1 megapixel, really...?
Lensbaby looking down the barrel of my new Velbon carbon fiber tripod (drool) height extension tube (which was obviously disconnected at the time) at a slinky. I was amazed at the reflection...
A slinky, a slinky, it's such a marvelous toy!
Note: Out of town (in DC) this week. I'll try to check in occasionally...
