Blink and you'll miss it - we did! The lovely little restored entrance is easy to miss on the main road. When you do find it you are greeted by this fabulousl restored gate and station sign.
There was a snapper tearing up the grass in the back yard when we woke up. When I took Calee to her room near the front of the house she kept yelling turtle. When I looked out there was another one on the front yard. All in all they dug 6 holes and planted 5 eggs in one nest near the driveway. When we looked them up online it said the average snapper would lay 25-30 eggs so I don't think she was done. At any rate I picked them both up by their tails and put them into a 5 gallon bucket and dumped them back in the pond. I think I'm going to have to move them both to a lake nearby in order to save the lawn.

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.

Sea Foam
This is a natural process occurring in especially big seas, where plankton and other small sea organisms are literally pulverised against the rocks of the shoreline, resulting in a very fine protein suspension in the sea which coats the air-bubbles created by the waves to create a stiff froth, just the same way as egg protein coats air bubbles to make meringue, and beer protein coats air bubbles to produce a head of foam in a beer glass. from viv.id.au/blog/20070827.871/sea-foam/
It's a great year for brambles, so I made bramble jelly. Here we've spread cream cheese onto thick white toast, added the jelly, and topped it with some of the fresh berries.
