Spring Wildlife

After supper last night we went for a five kilometre saunter at Second Marsh that took us along the beach. We saw the aftermath of last week's windstorm with many tons of beach rocks pushed well up into the woods. The root systems of trees were exposed and a disturbing number were toppled. The power of wind and waves unlike anything we have seen there.

The turtles were still out sunning on a log and the deer had emerged for an evening browse. The large plush bunny was one of two, a rather bizarre and frankly creepy addition to the forest. I felt that this was a post-modern artistic statement, the crucifixion of Easter through the commercialization of Christianity's holiest day. Yup, I have definitely been doing this job too long!
