You who will emerge from the flood... an underwater operella by Juliana Snapper and Andrew Infanti performed at Victoria Baths, Manchester, on Sunday the 17th of May 2009
One of my favorite blooms is Red Snapper. This Curt Sinclair hybrid was mothered by Miss Liberty with the pollen of Amber Suzanne (the 1993 American Hibiscus Society Hibiscus of the Year). A good Red Snapper bloom is always a contender to win Best Double ribbon at the hibiscus shows. My Red Snapper died in 2005 due to Hurricane Cindy breaking off a big oak tree branch that landed on top of my Red Snapper, breaking the bush off at the graft point. I was given a replacement Red Snapper hibiscus bush in the summer of 2008 that died in early 2009, but was given another replacement Red Snapper bush in March 2009. I am looking forward to new Red Snapper blooms when the weather gets nicer.
Grilled whole red snapper with white rice made for a delicious, filling lunch at YuYu, a local restaurant.

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/
There are three large gaps in the stone wall, but this snapper just had to climb over! She got her mouth on the edge of the plank a couple times and had it been a finger or toe, it would have been broken and maybe amputated. She was not happy about PopPop moving her back to the ground.
A biker had come across this scene before me - he said that the snake appeared to be dead already prior to the arrival of Mr. Snapper. This guy is a little bit prehistoric looking. John Heinz NWR #0252
A common snapping turtle.
The first Spring in New Hampshire was greeted with the deafening sound of frogs coming out and singing. Thousands and thousands of frogs. The cacophony is so great, you can hear them inside your car with the windows closed and the radio on.
Asked a neighbor if that was normal and he replied, "Yeah, it lasts for a couple weeks... until the turtles hatch."
Didn't think much of it until I actually saw one of these turtles. A giant, scary dinosaur-looking snapper turtle. Those thousands of frogs? In this monster's belly!
There's nothing to give this scale, but its head is as big around as my arm and the shell is the size of a good-size car tire.
This is a juvenile.

After filming this I saw three more. Some Snapping turtles hibernate in this Tamarack Bog. The hole that the first one is in is about 4-6 ft deep! Please excuse the shakey video but if you have ever tried to stand steady in a bog you know what I was going through trying to keep my precarious footing!
