It's That Time of Year!


Alligator turtle! 
He brings 'snapping' turtle to a whole new level!  He came through our yard recently!
One of our resident gopher tortoises.  He is an adult with a  14" shell.
Yesterday, while some children came for a visit and we took a walk, we came across this young one with a shell measuring 2 1/2" !  It is the first 'baby' we have seen.
We brought him up to the house for Bill to see (and photograph) and then we returned him to his own territory again!
Spring has everyone on the move!

  4. Whoa! That's one cranky turtle. The wee one is too cute for words. I remember when we used to get them like that at the dime store.

  5. the alligator turtle looks like a steel helmet with legs - and "jaws"! I think I'd prefer the less carnivorous species:)
    and I do love the dark blue socks from the other entry - even though they are a strain on the eyes when knitting them. I am a sucker for all dark blues, esp. handspun:)
