Who do those rocks think they are?

Can you believe those two rock-heads taking over MY blog like that. Well while they were having fun on the beach we left Mom to chaperone them and went off exploring a little on our own.

Now you know odd things occasionally wash up on MY beach - horseshoe crabs, shells and such but today we found a bunch of these guys - they are puffer fish. We counted 8 of them scattered along our beach and are not sure why just these types of fish should wash up - Mom said maybe some fisherman caught them in their nets and just threw away (there were a lot of shrimp boats out this morning skimming just off  MY beach). They were certainly odd looking and don't worry - we kept our distance from them and we know they are poisonous.

We also got to watch two ships come in within minutes of each other - the first was the Vessel HOEGH DETROIT is a vehicle carrier built in 2006 and currently sailing under the flag of Norway it is 229m in length and has a beam of 32m. The second ship was the Vessel SEA LAND EAGLE  it is a container ship built in 1997 and currently sailing under the flag of Hong Kong. SEA LAND EAGLE is273m in length and has a beam of 32m.

    Awwww...I feel sorry for the puffer fish! One of the libraries I worked at had a huge aquarium and it had one puffer fish. The little kids loved him.

    Oh WOW! Mommy loves puffy fish for some reason? She says they remind her of herself when she looks in the mirror - I don't get it - snorts. Love these pics my friends. XOXO - Bacon

    Wow...how interesting those puffer fish are. It does make Mama a bit mad because they were inflated, meaning they were stressed, when they ummm left for the Rainbow bridge...this leads Mama to believe they were thrown away by those fisher peoples...
