Today I went to collect some duckweed from the local pond, but it was too early. We got a little bit. I took my son and my grandson and got some great pictures, but only saw one painted turtle. In another week or two there will be loads of turtles sitting on logs there. All kinds...painted..res.
A little bit of duckweed
my grandson scooping some up
one lone painted turtle basking
this guy got a hand out from my son
On the right side of the picture, it gets narrow and this is where the pond empties into the bay. This is where the water is half fresh water and half salt water. In the summer there are loads of Diamond Backs there basking. It was getting late, and we didn't want to walk over to see if there was any. Next time when I go for more duckweed we will take a look.
Just resting.....
Some people were catching Sunnies and just having a picnic.
