While driving to a local coffee shop to “work”, Ellen brought the car came to a screeching halt so I could look at this lovely turtle! – sorry about the quality of these photos – I have an old phone and the camera isn’t as good as a new fancy phone.
I know absolutely nothing about turtles other than that they carry their houses around with them.
This guy, or maybe gal, has been building its house for a long time, I’m guessing because of the size of it.
Isn’t this a beauty!
Como Lake is about 3 miles from my house and a great lake to walk around with Molly Brown. Sometimes I even walk to the lake, around the lake, and home again.
However, I think both MB and myself are getting a bit long in the tooth for 6 miles walks.
These toe nails were so impressive I had to get a close up!
When the turtle turned toward me and took a step, I had the feeling he didn’t want any more photos taken. He was looking right at me! It was awesome!
What a fun way to start my day – a visit with a turtle!
you didn’t save him and drive him to the lake?
see how much i don’t know about turtles! I didn’t know that was the thing to do. . . however, the lake was only about 5 feet away; only a 2 foot walking path to cross and then into the weeds around the lake. I’m pretty sure he made it since he was heading in that direction.
Shawn, how cool! Do you think it’s a snapping turtle? That’s kind of what it looks like to me.
Hey, we miss you at Eileen’s knitting night. I brought those cross-stitch pattern books by Gerda Bengtsson the last couple of times for you and your sister. Let me know when you two might come again and I’ll put them in my knitting bag!
Hey Beth, I am playing softball on Thursday nights til sometime mid-july. I so enjoyed meeting everyone at Eileen’s knitting night and can’t wait to do it again. . . why couldn’t there be 8 days each week?
Thanx for thinking of us and the cross stitch books – I’ll keep you posted about if I can make the next one or not.
