Have Log Will Sun!

We recently visited our nearby arboretum for a change of scenery. It was a fine, sunny spring afternoon, but that sun heated things up making it feel more like summer than spring.

 

One of the first things we saw upon our arrival was turtles sunning everywhere. On the banks of the lake and stream that runs into it, and of course they were lining up on the log, seen above, that spans the edge of the lake where the stream meets it. Grabbed this shot while crossing the footbridge to get to the (shaded) sitting area.

 

The water was horribly murky, lots of pollen and debris floating on top of the water, and there were so many turtles swimming about, they were probably stirring up the mud on the bottom, making things worse.
