Green Turtle

Green Turtle

Good evening friends, feels like I just wrote you guys a few hours ago.  My day off zipped by so fast again but I got a lot done!!  My trail at Saint Joris is looking great and I am being extra careful not to harm any of the environment.  The desert is so dry that I can now find my way thru much easier and I got lucky in finding a still used goat path, the goats are gonna love this trail!!  While raking today Inca and Indi chased each other back and forth on it and seemed to never get tired of it which is fine by me as long as they are keeping out of trouble!  I had to pull some prickly pear cactus up by the roots that were in the way but got them all re-planted next to the trail and I am going around any and all nice bushes or trees, just trimming.  After trail building class I took the dogs for a nice walk and a nice swim and they are still out!
 
I spent most of my day packing and getting last minute things done and at 4:00 took off for another one hour bike ride.  The trails are so dry and the desert here is so brown right now we so badly need rain!  As I rode by the salt ponds tonight I noticed they are really drying up and salt crystals are starting to form again, will have to run down and get some new shots!! 
 
Here’s a little Green Turtle I found quite awhile ago at Small Wall, I think this was a dive I did with Mark from the World Famous Dive Bus Hut!!  My divers out there know that there are two types of turtles, scared ones that won’t let you get close and the one’s that could care less, this one was super mellow and if I would have had more time I would have spent the whole dive with him!!
 
Hope you Sunday went well, gotta go, Barry
