2012.6.7

It's my Turtle Anniversary.
That is I have seen the turtle nestling in the beach for the first time in Florida in 2008.  It's been 4 years since that time. Florida is abundant in nature lives.
Turtle is kame (亀) in Japanese.  In Japan turtle and crane (鶴:tsuru)  are symbols of longevity, and there is a saying:
Tsuru wa sen nen, kame wa man nen (鶴は千年、亀は万年), meaning cranes live for 1000 years, turtles live for 10,000 years.
