I came across this guy in the middle of the road Saturday by the nearby Pecatonica River. He wouldn't budge, so I hope he didn't get run over.
There is a bench I can sit on near the action at Snapper Rocks. I don't have to move far and Tre drops me off right there. So I let the kids in the surf do the moving. Despite the surf being painfully small of late, its a nice outing.
I decided to try this recipe from one of my mom's old Christmas cookie cookbooks. I thought my little girl would like making the turtles, and she did. I found it on-line here to share as well.
Not a lawn mower or a fish, but this guy was moseying down a country road near my house this afternoon. The turtle was about halfway between a beaver dam and a farm pond, each about mile away. It has been so rainy here that everything is saturated, so I don’t think the turtle is in any danger from being away from its water source. At this point I wouldn’t have been terribly surprised if I’d seen a fish on the road. I was glad to be in the truck because snapping turtles can be quite vicious when bothered. Their jaws can easily snap a finger. This one’s shell was between 10 and 12 inches in diameter. I had no intention of trying to measure it.

After following the storm front down from Brisbane we ended up at Snapper Rocks hoping to capture some lightning.
Well I captured some moody skies instead!!!
Hope you all had a great weekend of storm chasing :)
