Turtles are unable to regulate their body temperatures independently, so they are completely dependent on the temperature of their environment. For this reason, they need to sunbathe frequently to warm themselves and maintain their body temperatures.
The red-eared slider gets its name from the small, red stripe around its ears, or where its ears would be, and from its ability to slide quickly off rocks and logs into the water.
Red-eared sliders are native to the Southern United States and northern Mexico, but have become established in other places because of pet releases, and have become an invasive species in many areas where they outcompete native species.
The carapace of this species can reach more than 40 cm (16 in) in length, but the typical length ranges from 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 in). The females of the species are usually larger than the males. They typically live between 20 and 30 years.

This little lovely is one of four Carolina wrens that have been gifted my yard as their territory by their parents. As usual, the parents raised several broods in the yard this year. Once the last brood was old enough to be independent, the parents moved on.
These little wrens are more friendly than their parents were, they come very close to me when I am in the yard and they allow me to approach them as well. If it ends up that there are two pair, perhaps both pair will nest in the yard. That has happened before. They chose different sides of the house of course, still it was nice to have so many year-round and all of the extra activity during nesting season.
Enjoy your day and happy snapping.

Snow Geese, migrating along the California Flyway.
One goose (the comment box in the picture identifies it) is flying in the opposite direction to everyone else. But that's the one goose flying south (the right direction), everyone else is flying north (the wrong direction) ... one of the mysteries of life?

I like being independent
Not so much of an investment
No one to tell me what to do
I like being by myself
Don't gotta entertain anybody else
No one to answer to...
But sometimes, I just want somebody to hold
Someone to give me their jacket when it's cold
Got that young love even when we're old
Yeah sometimes, I want someone to grab my hand
Pick me up, pull me close, be my man
I will love you till the end
So if you're out there I swear to be good to you
But I'm done lookin', for my future someone
Cause when the time is right
You'll be here, but for now
Dear no one, this is your love song
She left her last nigga (Why)
He wasn't no go getter
Never met a bad bitch
That entertain a broke nigga,
You cheated
She walked out yo life
With some new shoes on
It's zero tolerance
She put the rules on ya. ✌

It was only after I got home and examined this image that I realized there was no interconnection among any of the photographed people. A reflection of today's society.
London-Assange-Justice. We need whistleblowers and journalists publishing what endangers democratic control of powers and human rights.

Miss unafraid
Miss out of my way

Miss on her own
Miss almost grown
Miss never let a man help her off her throne

This tiny duckling was the only offspring remaining to the pair of Pink-eared Ducks. Despite its youth, it displayed remarkable independence, swimming energetically several meters ahead of its parents, who struggled to keep up.

Here’s my late-day posting for Independent Bookstore Day. Let’s try to support them as much as we can, especially now during the pandemic. And be patient when orders don’t arrive as fast as Amazon. I don’t enjoy shopping very much, but one thing I do like is browsing bookstores. I’m sure one of my first visits after the shutdowns end, will be to our local store, Village Books. They have great gifts as well as books. I got the mug pictured above from there, too. Stay safe.

my "cat posting"
i wouldn't be a proper flickr citizen without posting a kitten or cat within a given amount of time.
E poi c'è lei... Penelope detta Baffo Rosso..
non curante delle malinconie, dei pensieri, dei sogni o dei sospiri del momento, saprà sempre come portare una ventata di buon umore...
per esempio chiamandoti e facendoti cadere fra le mani una palla sporca di bava per farsela lanciare ed inseguirla più e più volte.. ed alla fine, non ti ricordi più dei pensieri che avevi.. terapeutica :)
