Sweet Z In The Morning!

Apart from the coolness, the reward for getting up early in the morning is the 5 or 10 minutes of magical splendor as the sunlight grows colorful over Zihuatanejo Bay. I've seen a lot of tropical sunrises, but none that beat Zihuatanejo's.

Another turtle nest with the eggs removed. It's a shame to see the turtle nests robbed of their eggs. The footprints I keep finding around the nests in the mornings don't appear to be bootprints from the sailors from the Apostadero Naval.

Fishing boats come racing in to the beach. Hopefully they did well overnight off the coast.

A sight I never grow tired of!

Why on earth would someone steal the turtle eggs Rob?
To eat?

Same reason they steal anything. To sell. Unfortunately poorly educated men believe it makes them more virile, as if this were something important.

Superb pictures as usual.

...and so much more!

It is simply not true that turtle eggs help with virility. I ate 12 of them last night and only 8 worked.

Breathtaking!!! Except for the raided nest!

You ARE a devil!

Timmac, were those eggs over easy or in an ommlet?

I'm pretty sure the 8 that worked were hard boiled, the 4 that didn't were, of course, soft boiled.
(Thanks for the easy set-up line)

3 months and counting. The business about stealing the eggs truly disturbs me. I participated in the release of the baby turtles last year and it was an experience I will always remember. Can't wait to do that again this in January. Thank you as always Rob for your beautiful pictures. They keep me in Zihua year round

As Sactomary said--your pictures keep us in Zihua all year round! Always get a happy feeling seeing them!
