I'd be unstoppable . . .

if I could just get started.

I had a short acquaintance with this Pozo Road turtle and may have learned a valuable life lesson from our time together.

May he rest in peace.

My Newest Pet-Snapper the Snapping Turtle. He just walked up my driveway the other day and now has a new home in the pond in my front yard

Vedauwoo is a popular rock-climbing destination between Cheyenne and Laramie. I saw likely scrambles, modest roped climbs, and bouldering opportunities. This cliff lies on the west side of Turtle Mountain.

A turtle.

Found this Diamond Back Terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin terrapin) half dead on the beach in the off season, brought her home and helped her recover. She is back in the wild again now.

I'm in the process of finally updating my site (I know I know but I mean it this time). Been mulling a change in style. Any way here's the old "Look at me!" link:

"Stand in line, please"

Rusty spotted this big turtle crawling up the neighbors driveway, glad he did not go after it. I put him in the house and got out the camera. Harsh light :(

A magnificent Green sea turtle feeding on the grass beds of Maho Bay. This dude let me float above him for a long, long time, just munching away. Bucket list, check! St John, Virgin Islands National Park, US Virgin Islands.

I find it is rather therapeutic to hand feed Green Sea Turtles, plus they are amazing and beautiful sea creatures!! They are so graceful in movement as they seem to glide through the water seamlessly.

This tiny mud #turtle looks to be wanting to climb the #BodieIsland #Lighthouse! 219 steps seems like a lot for one little turtle! #LighthouseTurtles

Turtle of the same friend, look at the claws on that beast!

If you look close, the second turtle from the left has it's back leg outstretched as if to shield the baby behind it. Mill Creek Park

comes up for a closer view of us

the surgeon fish are eating the algae off the turtle's shell

This little guy was lost so before I set him back into my lake I took this portrait of him.
