Sunday March 5th, 70 degrees and windy

Turtles

Sea turtle nesting season for Brevard County officially begins on March 1 and continues through October 31.  No tracks spotted yesterday or today between Beach Woods and Sandy Shoes Resort.

The skies are overcast and windy, and the ocean is quite churn-y. Notice the Portuguese Man O'Wars in the seaweed. The beach is littered with them today.





Trash



Speaking of litter, this is today's trash. Bottle caps everywhere.





Treasures

This poor guy must've just died moments ago. They always skitter away so quickly, I never realized they have such hairy legs. I love his pose.






Portuguese Man O'War (dead) have washed up all over the beach.  They look like aliens.  Stay away from them -- they are poisonous.  Unless you're a sea turtle -- then they're a snack.







Sentinels in a row, ever vigilant. (Sandy Shoes Resort in the background.)
