Have you ever felt "stuck in the mud"....moving in "slow motion". Well, that's me today. I overslept this morning. I woke up, looked at the clock, and thought it said 6:36. Once I refocused, I realized it said 8:38 - OOPS! Not good - especially since I need to report to work around 9ish and I live about 20 minutes from my office.
I rolled out of bed and headed to the kitchen for my morning coffee and my computer. My daily routine is to work a shot up the night before to post on flickr the following morning. I wake up early each day to enjoy a cup of coffee and sneak in some private flickr time unbeknown to the other members of my household who think that my flickr habit is on the verge of needing an intervention.
Since I was running so late today, my plan was to quickly upload the shot I had ready to go and then get dressed and head off to work. But then I saw this guy looking up at me from my computer monitor. His facial expression just got to me. That's how I feel right now!!!!
So I sat at my computer, worked a little on the levels, and decided to give him his flickr debut! (It was 8:59 at this point). Then I ran in my room, pulled a pink polo, pink lilly pants and pink flip flops out of the closet (well it is PINK TUESDAY you know) and ran out the door. I made it to work by 9:30 and here I am (it's 10:08 now) and I am done.
Have a great day!

Nothing's Better Than A Good Stretch...
Green Cay Wetlands, Boynton Beach, FL
Changed the title after tv writer suggested it looks more like yoga than aerobics. I was thinking of the streching exercises, which I vaguely remember from my aerobics classes, never been to a yoga class... shame on me. Anyway, I do agree the title is better and in fact I kept changing it from "aerobics" to "yoga" back to "aerobics" before making the shot public... :-)
At the aquarium in Osaka, I spent a lot of time taking pictures of these turtles 'cause I loved how the colors came out.
These turtles were sunning themselves, and I was laughing at the little turtle balancing on top of the big one! So funny! He stayed there the whole time I was shooting, too!
Taken at Cox Arboretum.
Just off Catseye Beach, they are apparently drawn there due to all the tasty algae which grows in that particular bay.

oh, and for now on, if you post it on tumblr, can you tag it under as hamst3rs also? sounds stupid i know. i just kinda like seeing how much notes and all it gets, and reblogging it and whatnot.
This African Tortoise was trying to make lil turtle babies here but the female was completely unfazed and continued to eat her lunch. This was taken at the Wildlife World Zoo in Litchfield Park, Az on 11/24/2006.
This is the same turtle making her way to her nesting spot after the boys were taking away. The grass blades are in her face, but I wasn't going to put my hand so close to her snapping jaws.
We live in an area specifying to watch out for turtle from May to September, and having a large pond behind our property gives us an opportunity to watch them up close.

It was great to get back into the water for the first time this season. Whilst Michaelmas Cay is more of a tourist spot than a diving location , it is never the less an excellent sheltered location for testing our independent boating equipment like our much played with water maker ..and of course check our underwater camera equipment !
We were pleased to find a couple of green turtles like this male to test out our cameras functions...and our brains :)
