I was taking a little stroll during my lunch at work...low and behold I find this man made pond one block away from my job in Cerritos CA.

I've worked here 3 years and didn't even know it was there!

I thought this was pretty neat.

Looks like it has a large amount of turtles. How did you happen across it after all this time?

How nice to be able to see turtles in the middle of the city. And they look like they're used to having people walk by...they stayed out of the water.

Well, I don't really take walks in that direction. So I decided to do a little exploring :)

exactly! even the little babies (which I should have taken more pictures of) didn't even flinch when I walked by...they had their heads up held high basking on the rock

Great pictures. It looks like there are some Koi in there too.

That was the only one I saw in there.

Unless the others were a lot smaller and not as colorful

The ice just cleared on my pond, but it'll be awhile until I see turtles basking. They all flee in terror at the sight of me.
