We found this snapping turtle crawling through a grassy ditch towards Palmer Boulevard, away from the Celery Fields wetlands. It may have been a female seeking a nest site. It had a rather placid disposition, but then again, we were not harassing it or approaching too closely. A few minutes later we realized that a county employee on a tractor was mowing the grass between the sidewalk and road pavement. Presumably he saw the turtle and mowed around it because after we completed the 3-4-mile loop and were walking back to our car, the turtle was no where to be seen. We had seen a large dead turtle on the banks of drainage canal, but we'd like to think this individual survived for another day (but I can't help but think of the turtle-and-highway scene in "Grapes of Wrath.")
Sarasota, FL (10 February, 2021)
These big snappers make the climb from the swamp, to the shoulder of the road, to lay their eggs in the gravel. But every year, the racoons get to the eggs before they can hatch. So sad. I guess that's just part of the circle of life.
It is MisterMan's first day of summer school, so I am back to making his lunch bento again after a short hiatus.... vacation is always too short.
Salt and pepper pan-fried snapper with brown & white rice / pearl barley. Tamagoyaki with turmeric, shredded carrot and home-grown green onion. Edamame skewers, parboiled broccoli and peapods, carrot flowers, and radish mushroom (idea from AnnaTheRed). Fruit section has red grapes, blueberries and yellow peach slices. Alas, no more tropical fruit... I'll have to search this weekend for (inferior) lychees in San Francisco....
I have just returned from a diving trip to Tanzania, where I have begun learning underwater photography for the first time - it's a lot harder than it looks!! On the reefs in Chole Bay, there were huge schools of unicornfish, surgeonfish, emperors, soldierfish, snapper, sweetlips, amberjacks and mackerels that you let you swim right up into them - an amazing experience! This was taken on one of the best dive sites - The Pinnacle leading into Kinasi Pass.

Snapper Rocks at Tweed Heads - local Bundjalung Aboriginal man celebrates his proud indigenous heritage by blessing the surf by playing his didgeridoo while overlooking the crashing waves that sweep over the rocky coastline.
This used to be one of the main Red Light districts of Dublin, until they installed the LUAS. Now the kerb-crawlers can't cruise the area like they used to.
This is two LUAS trams passing each other with a 20 second exposure......which was too long.
I hadn't intended to shoot this. I had spent a couple of hours shooting The Bridge and as I headed across the road I saw the LUAS X 2 approaching, so, like Superman in a telephone box - no I didn't wear my pants outside my jeans....you people!!! - I transformed from Mac the pedestrian to Mac the Snapper.
Plonk. Click. Bingo Bongo!
