a*list ohm with turtles

 

This week of dances were all ones I knew.

Friday was "Weapons", for a bit of mystery.

Monday found me with "The Bad Guys2" in their travels to Egypt and outer space.

Wednesday was a new one, "Light Of The World", but its story was one I've known most of my life.

Then, today, Carolyn and I finally got "Caught Stealing" seen again - and yes, I just may be getting a crush on Austin Butler!

To quote a line he says to his girlfriend, "I'm sexy even when I don't say anything" - to which she replied, "Then shut up!"

Good one!!!

No meal with her this time, though.

I had a Naturalist 101 lecture at OHM Savannah!

Hooray!

I need to remember to get there a bit earlier, so I can chat with more of the folks who come for these ocean-themed talks.

"Conserving Loggerhead Sea Turtles" had drawn me in, as it had the full room, plus whoever was tuned in online at facebook. 

I sat in the very front row, which had been left empty.

Guess that was for me!

(smile!)

The talk was given by Kristen Zemaitis of the Caretta Research Project., an organization that started near the same time that I was in the STERI project my junior year of high school.

As I told her afterward, both that science program I was in, plus the sea turtle research, had me thinking of a career in marine science... but I chose the Navy first... then I chose chemistry once I finally went to college.

Now, I'm back to looking at the ocean and its life again.

(smile!)

I made sure to grab some swag for my great-nieces and great-nephews.

One never knows where a spark might lead to a fire!

Spring is coming!

This afternoon, as I was rambling around, dreaming of warmer days,
dreaming, dreaming,
there appeared in the expanse of dried brown
a sea of waving green pennants, staggering about.
And shining like a star in the midst of those green spires,
-like a STAR, I tell you!-
was a solitary daffodil.
Never you mind what groundhogs may forecast:
Spring is on its way!
