Before the tics yesterday was all about the turtles. I got to John Heinz NWR before I was to start volunteering and had time to walk around and take pictures. It was our first warm, sunny day in a while. (Well, maybe Tuesday was nice. I don't know. Matt was down and out with a bad back and I was playing nurse so I never actually left the house.) First I encountered this painted turtle hanging out on a water plant.
Then this guy surfaced!!!
And another painted turtle stopped by to say hello.
Check out the muck and grooves on his shell.
Then, back at the visitor center, a snapping turtle was just getting done laying eggs, I hope! I can't wait to see those cute little baby snappers!
