I've just spent a week with Marge Bell of Space Coast Beach Buzz in South Brevard County, Florida, exploring beaches, summer wetlands and inland meadows with naturalists in the area. Among my activities, wildflower walks, exploring sunrise beaches, and guided moonlight walks to witness Loggerhead sea turtle nesting.

Gorgeous photos, I love them all! Seeing the turtles nesting must have been a cool experience.
ReplyDeleteHi Eileen. Watching a sea turtle lay eggs and cover the nest is amazing, a privilege. And watching her return to the sea is a very moving moment.

ReplyDeleteThose are amazing photos, Vickie! Beautiful the pitcher plant with its open maw. And I love the white ibises on the beach at sunset and the ghost crab blending in with sand... marvellous.
ReplyDeleteVickie, I can only assume there will be paintings coming soon? Love the photos. I have not heard of this place but from your photos I now want to put it on my list of places to visit!
