We love wildlife and are especially fond of all animals that live along the coast and in ocean waters. We volunteer our time every year to do beach clean-up and conservation work to help save them. I wish more people would get involved all around the country to get our planet cleaned up and looking nice. It benefits EVERYONE!
While on a trip last fall down in Wildwood we snapped a few photos of Terrapin Turtles coming up out of the back bay and waterways onto the land to lay their eggs. There are Turtle Crossing Signs on the island reminding motorists to slow down and watch for the turtles.
We were lucky enough one afternoon to spot at least 2 dozen Terrapins up on the land digging their holes to lay their eggs. The hole digging took less than 15-20 minutes. Then they parked their butts over the hole and got busy laying their eggs. It wasn’t an all day process at all. After laying the eggs they covered the holes back up with the dirt that they had dug. Then headed back into the water.
It ws something that we sat there and witnessed over the course of 2 hours. A memory that we’ll never forget. Something that most people never get to witness out in the wild.

In mid-March my daffodils were blooming (about 2 weeks early this year) followed by my Hyacinths. Now my beautiful tulips are blooming and my bearded Iris flowers are getting ready to bloom next. I love the spring flowers…too bad they only bloom for 1-2 weeks and then they’re gone. Do you have a favorite spring flower? I love daffodils (white ones) while my mom really loves purple bearded irises. How about you?
