Wordless Wednesday

WW is a simple blog post featuring a photo which conveys a message that speaks for itself without using words.

For all the rule breakers, of which I am one, please feel free to add all the words you want.

Sea Turtles

Summer is peak season for sea turtles Sea turtle walks are a popular event on Florida beaches in June and July, when huge mama turtles weighing in at around 200 to 250 pounds come ashore to lay their eggs. About two months later, the tiny and adorable sea turtles hatch, but they don’t just make a run for the water. The turtles wait until the sand cools, which is usually at night, and begin their journey to the water.

Linking up with a bunch of fantastic peeps from the blogosphere who host Wordless Wednesday – Wordless Wednesday, Keith’s Ramblings, Senior Salon, Esme Salon, CatSynth, and Suzana.

    When visiting Florida I’ve seen the signs on beaches warning of turtles but I haven’t been there are the right time of year. I understand shorefront motels have to put blackout curtains on windows facing the ocean so the turtles don’t get disoriented.

    I did not know that about shining light on the baby sea turtles. Thank you for the always informative posts, Sandee. Sea turtles and all critters are a valuable part of the health of this planet we call home; may they be safe to live their lives in safety.

    Happy Wordless Wednesday! Much love and peace to you, dear friend. Thank you for all the work you do hosting blog hops.

    Watching sea turtle race toward the water in person is such a wonderful experience. I’ll never forget it when I got to release my little guy in Mexico along with the rest of the resort visitors. Adorably cute, Sandee!

      I’m sure many of them don’t make it, but enough do to keep the species going. Double Pawkisses to you both and a big hug to Granny. 🙂

    Hi, Sandee. It would be really fun to see the little sea turtle’s making their way to the water. I have shared #57. I have a weak image for the wordless part. There is always Life Captured’s wordless party called My Sunday Snapshot. You and your guests are invited to share your link there!
    Hope to see you soon!

    We’ve seen the cordoned off sea turtle nests in Florida where we used to go. They now encourage everyone to dim lights at night so the little ones don’t get confused and run away from the water toward the lights. They really are cute little things, aren’t they.

    I pray you and Mr. Zane have a great week. Give Lil’ Bit and Squeaker a hug and a treat from me, please.

      They are so precious. We need to do whatever it takes to protect these precious babies. Happy day and rest of the week. Love and hugs, my sweet friend. 🙂

    So cute. Mom has seen these sprints for the ocean on TV, but would love to see it in person one day. Thanks for linking us up. XOCK, angels Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid & Sawyer, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy, Kizmet, Audrey, Raleigh, Gibbs & Tali
