Thanks to Illustration Friday for the chance of talking about dreams. Which are s the green turtles dreams? Maybe to live in peace!

One more thingh: nevertheless turtle isa protected species, still someone dares stealing eggs, supposed to be very nutritious.

Aug.15. What a mess! Summer holidays in Italy: everybody goes swimming! Even myself who braved the oceans (eh, eh) now braves beaches crowded by dangerous local species: scoresof  kids restlessly jumping into the water, old sun burned skin-divers who frantically crop mussels.
