Wanted to wish all a happy World Turtle Day. A picture of the view having coffee on my patio this morning...
And, walking to the upper patio, here's an old Mississippi Map Turtle celebrating with a new clutch of eggs she's just finishing burying,
Of course, World Turtle Day does not go by without recognizing my pride in my protege grandson. He has definitely taken after me and has an inexhaustible interest in turtles and tortoises. A few pictures of the last time I was with him at their new home in Alabama. He is in heaven with all the turtles indigenous to that area. Every day spent turtle hunting, especially this time of year!!
(Lisa Badgley is my daughter, his mother.) Here's he's teaching his sister about turtles and how not to get bit by a common musk...
Happy World Turtle Day!!
