Always delighted to give the most accurate nature ID I can find!
2 weeks agoI knew you’d come through for us Bill. Thanks!
2 weeks agoThree, but only two that count really. There are a couple of pics in our 1997 from from Nice to Lisbon, but we were just passing through. The only previous time we actually stayed here was 7 years ago when we were here for two nights. This is by far our longest and best visit.
You might recognize it too from the Classens, who passed through here last fall.
Yes, anchovies are surprisingly big here, given how small they are. Or were in the past anyway. There are several anchovy storefronts like this in town, all looking like antiques.
2 weeks agoOh yeah … now I see it. You’re soooo good. 🤣
2 weeks agoThe key is in my head... After years of following journals and doing nature IDs, some stuff sticks, but most just evaporates. Notice the shape of its carapace... It is quite like a turtle, and it seems to be sitting on a marble capital... :-)
2 weeks agoI’d love to see the key you used to confirm that ID.
(Well played, Bill!)
Looks like a marble capital turtle to me... Similar enough to a pond turtle to fit artistic license.
2 weeks agoIs that the annoying rise?
2 weeks agoAnchovies for sale!
2 weeks agoNice perspective.
2 weeks agoI've been following your travels and admiring your photos for so long that I'm getting deja vu and the feeling like I've been here before....but I never have. How many blogs has this place been in for you both?
2 weeks agoIt’s my look of deep concentration. I take so few selfies that I have to pay attention.
2 weeks agoIt can change so quickly here alright. The trick is to be lucky.

Strange how much it looks like the Basque region.
