LaGrange County, Indiana
A large adult female Red-eared Slider taken in a channel at one of northern Indiana natural lakes. There is a possibility that this could be a River Cooter that was release by someone from some other place, since River Cooters are only found naturally in south western tip of Indiana. Red-eared Sliders can lose their red ears when they get old.
Although native to our state, it seems its range is moving farther east, especially up north. Some of this may be natural expansion, or due to being established by people releasing them in the wild.
The Red-eared Slider has been established throughout the states, especially out in the western states.
For Sliders Sunday
We spent a couple of hours last week in Galena, Illinois, USA, a small town filled with many shops. These trinkets in one of the shop windows were catching some afternoon light when they also caught my eye. I darkened the background a bit to enhance the trinkets and added contrast to the price tags to make them readable.
HSS!

2. The Hawker Siddeley Nimrod is a retired maritime patrol aircraft developed and operated by the United Kingdom. It was an extensive modification of the de Havilland Comet, the world's first operational jet airliner. It was originally designed by de Havilland's successor firm, Hawker Siddeley; further development and maintenance work was undertaken by Hawker Siddeley's own successor companies, British Aerospace and, later, BAE Systems.
Funny old day today, weather wise - torrential rain followed by bright showers. Annoying. Makes me feel a bit unsettled I think.
Anyway this is Finlay (and a bird, behind) about to come down the slide.
