Dead Turtle Beach

A couple of months ago - actually, the night Meeks and I returned from Alaska, we happened to stumble upon a section of the Williamsburg riverfront which had recently been opened to the public.  Some sort of industrial wasteland that had been cleaned up (for the most part) and turned into a park on the East River.  So, we meandered on down to the water and walked around for a bit.  At some point, my foot stumbled against something and I looked down only to discover a dead turtle, bloated and kinda bloody around the head and neck region.  It was pretty grody.

Anywhoo, we returned to Dead Turtle Beach a couple of nights ago for an after-dinner digestive walk and enjoyed a rather lovely sunset.
