    wren has been feasting and feeding its young. First thought it was getting stuff from a pine tree. Looked closer.

    Learned that ants will move their nest if they find a better place. Nature never fails to fascinate

    While waiting to get my teeth cleaning done at the dentist (and there' nothing I love more than getting my teeth scraped... not!), I spotted these wild turkey chicks that are approaching adolescence wandering around outside the office window.  Apparently they live in the bushes on the other side of the building, but venture out into the parking lot now and then.

    Rented a cottage at Betula Lake in the Whiteshell. This guy is in the bush in front of our cottage.

    Saw this green sea turtle tonight down by the harbor. Pretty sure my wife and I saw this guy a year ago. I’m in the same spot and he’s got the same barnacle pattern on his back. He was a super noisy eater! Very slurpy!

    On the beach in the dark. Was rubbing the sand down near the water, you can get the bioluminescent plankton to stimulate and spark a green color in the sand.

    Saw this weird glowing shape a few feet away. Took the photo and then lit it up. An Atlantic mole crab. He’s actually covered in the glowing plankton! 

    Pretty cool!

    Very cool. The glowing creatures at night! Even a walk in the dark woods, certain bugs glow when you look in the leaf litter. Also if you dare shine a flashlight. Spider eyes shine like crystals. Everywhere!

    Spider eyes would freak me out!

    Saw this guy on the way to breakfast.
