A visit to Hobe Sound NWR

I've made a couple of visits this month to near by Hobe Sound NWR looking to see what's there in the Summer.
There are scores of turtle nests of different species up and down the beach.
Just a note for US citizens 62 and over who do not yet have the Senior Pass for Federal Fee areas (national parks, NWRs etc.) The $10 charge will be increased to $80 at the end of August.

Just in time for sunrise.

Finally, this one has made it. The fight for its life is just beginning.

Those are such great shots. Hope the baby turtle makes it and has a great life in the ocean.

Good photos. Thanks for the warning on the passes. I picked up my about a year ago. It's standard equipment whenever I take cameras on any photo trips. it's paid for itself with the first time use.
