Un adelanto del swap.
Les saqué una foto en una pose menos decorosa, pero no la subiré porque hay niños mirando. Además Flickr ha calificado mi cuenta como "segura", por lo que no arruinaré mi reputación XD
Ah, patrón sacado del libro que me regaló mi amiga Shih Yun.
I love turtles, especially baby turtles. The turtle is safe in a covered pond (the pond keeps out pest and birds).
This is a 'memoryware' mosaic.
Mr. Turtle has a story to tell! Below the sea... think of all of the items.. that once were special to someone. Perhaps an earring lost when swimming on a late summer afternoon. Perhaps a nail from a sunken ship... or a coin fallen from the pocket of a man who jumped over the side of a boat to save a child. Or even... a jewel tossed from cruise ship after a lover's spat!
One never knows... what treasures are buried in the sand for only the sea creatures to find!
This snapping turtle had climbed up to the top of a hill to lay her eggs. She decided to take the stairs back down.
Totally awesome private outdoor living spaces with this beautiful Turtle Creek Estates home. The location is superb with easy highway access to the city. The backyard is unbelievable. Pool with spa, patio with fireplace, outdoor kitchen, private master bedroom patio, hammock and sitting area around a fire pit. fishing dock and also a front patio.

The large family room has a cathedral ceiling, fireplace and built-ins. There is a large kitchen with island and large pantry. Upstairs has a theater/game room with bar as well as 3 bedrooms and 2 baths.
People think that turtles are slow animals. This is so only if the turtle is cold. Under normal conditions, turtles move very quickly, especially if you want to catch an insect. They move as a professional killer from the movies, is rapidly and irreversibly. And break the worm in a moment.
A North American Wood Turtle from Ontario that I call stumpy since she is missing her front left foot.
In Ontario the Wood Turtle is the rarest turtle and is considered an endangered species. All of their locations are kept top secret in order to protect their small remaining populations.
I found this individual during nesting season this year and watched her as she dug a nest and laid 9 eggs. Because I was there and witnessed this I was able to mark her nest and contact the MNR. We dug up the eggs the following day, the MNR incubated them over the summer, and in August 4 of the eggs hatched and we were able to release them. It was truly an amazing expereience and a success story for this turtle, population, and species - one that we need many more of!
