I had never seen one of these before a Snapping Turtle ( Chelydra serpentina ) a large freshwater turtle from S/E Canada to the S/W edge of the Rocky Mountains and eastwards down to Florida in the USA .
Not the most attractive of creatures , she spent the whole time with her mouth wide open or urinating on its handler here . Not the best exhibit to carry around but fascinating none the less . No touching here if you valued your fingers please .
There was a much larger specimen nicknamed Leonardo of ninja turtle fame inside . He was caught in the sewers of neighbouring Sydney apparently a pet that had escaped or outstayed or out grown his welcome and found his way into the sewers .

The extra bits left at the end of the build. Pretty standard mix of "just in case" parts from LEGO.

This was taken the first morning I was taught to surf, back in early January 2014. This is overlooking the infamous Snapper Rocks break.

These guys always remind me of soup.
Don't come across big snapping turtles real often near hiking paths; this one was fairly cooperative.

These leaf buds, curled around the nubs of blossoms, fascinated me with their jawlike look. Evergreen Arboretum, Everett, WA
This is the way the Spanish Conquistadores enjoyed their fresh snappers from the Mexican Gulf: served with a tomato sauce prepared with garlic, onions, capers, olives, jalapenos, fresh herbs, served with white rice.....it's a classic !
Issa ate this but she stayed away from the hot, hot sauce :-0

So I'm squatting down at water's edge looking around. I see this small (for a snapping turtle) guy start to swim directly toward me. He popped his head out, saw me 5 feet in front of him and quick swam away again. It was pretty cute.
These guys always make me think that they're dinosaurs that made it.

Snapper - Pagrus auratus (Forster, 1801) [more of this species]
Very similar to the Red Seabream (P. major) of the northern pacific. This species occurs south of the tropics. The are slight differences in the bump of the head, otherwise almost identical.
They can be identified by pinkish body with blue spots on the upper part of the body. The bottom most parts of the caudal, anal and ventral fins are white, the rest of those fins are transparent.

Darkroom Daze at Whalebone Bay, Bermuda.
Whalebone Bay is a secluded cove at the western end of St.George's Island in St.George's Parish, Bermuda. The headland in the background is Burgess Point. There is a nice little beach out of view to the R, and the bay is good for snorkelling. This is part of Ferry Point Park, one of Bermuda's public parks, without any buildings nearby apart from some ruined forts.

Thai snapper with a black bean sauce, served with jicama, poblano peppers, and tomato. The vegetables were cut a little big, and the sauce wasn't quite thick enough, but it was otherwise good.
I sat town and photographed an antlion at the bottom of his/her trap.
I've never seen these before, except their effects, of the conical little holes in the sand.
If you don't know of them, antlions bury themselves by tossing up bits of sand from beneath them. They go down about 20 millimeters, leaving a steep empty cone above them. When something edible walks into the edge of the cone, the steep sand gives way and the victim often tumbles to the bottom, where the antlion is waiting to devour it.
