The original, eclectic purveyor of gonzo, sci-fi cow jazz, serial hobbyist, dedicated collector of useless knowledge, perhaps the greatest chinaberry hitter of all time, and proprietor of East Texas Engineering, where prnted directions are never followed and finesse is never used when force will do.

How Many Turtles on the Log?

I count 25 or 26, but who can be sure?

We see some interesting sights in out little lagoon on Bethy Creek, but this is one of the more interesting ones.  It's right up there with the invasion of the pelicans in November.  We also see quite a few egrets and blue herons strolling through the shallow waters of the lagoon searching for fish.

Our lagoon is a dead end from quite a few pieces of flotsam.  We get fishing lures, bobbers (or "corks" as we say in East Texas), tennis balls, plastic jugs that many use for trot line floats, and last week a log.  

It was not long before the turtles discovered the log and climbed aboard.  They are very skittish making it hard to get a close-up photo.  This one was taken at 50 yards with a medium telephoto lense, and it was heavily cropped.
