The gopher tortoises live with huge hotels for neighbors!
There are more pictures of other places to come! But first, Tim took a couple of short videos of the gopher tortoises and lizards…
It still amazes me how the gopher tortoises can go about their business so close to so much human activity….
Another place we visited on vacation was Fernandina Beach, across the border in Florida, on Amelia Island. Shea had spotted some turtles here when she spent a day at the beach with friends. Because Tim is crazy about turtles we had to come see them! This place isn’t a nature sanctuary, and we found the close proximity of nature to civilization a little strange.
We were taking turns using the camera this day, too, but Tim took most of the pictures as I recall…
With a special pass recreational vehicles are allowed on this beach.
A few more pictures from Amelia Island tomorrow…
