To see a SEA TURTLE<\/a> coming ashore and laying her eggs is a rare sight. This is what Richard, Anne France, Laura and Paul got to see last week on June 2 at 11 p.m. on the beach at Junonia of Sanibel condos. Richard had his cell phone with him at the time and snapped this photo hoping not to disturb the mamma turtle. Just a reminder- Do not shine flash lights at any sea turtle, especially while nesting. It’s against the law.<\/p>\n

She continued to drop her ping pong size eggs and they all marveled at the magic of this creature. Richard was kind enough to share this picture with us- I hope you can make out that this is the back end of her shell.<\/p>\n

Laura was also lucky enough to find this PAPER FIG<\/a> on the lighthouse beach on Sanibel. They are very thin so they get cracked very easily. It’s not as easy to find them in perfect shape like this one. It’s beauty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
