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!

10 days at the cabin and I’m feeling rested, relaxed and ready to knit~

watching weather at the cabin is the best!
