Saturday, so Simon was off work, which meant he and Jordan were able to spend the day programming together.
This photo is of Simon and Tina's turtles, which often amuse us.
Walked 3.7 miles.
An African Helmeted Turtle (Terrapin) suddenly arrived in our garden the other day out of nowhere - there are no likely bodies of water around where we could think he came from. We have placed him in the care of a wildlife organisation who will place him in a suitable (wild) environment!
Shark Bay, Australia
I heard splashing off the peer after dusk - couldn't see into the water at all, but guessed focal distance, mounted my flash....! Just got the photos back, what a beauty! What luck! Looks like a sunny day too.
The turtle is a semi-official (official?) symbol/mascot of the Beloit area and Beloit College.
I liked this guy (he weighed a lot!) and he was the only thing I bid on (in silent auction). Unfortunately, I didn't win. I wonder what he ended up going for? (Probably a lot more than I could afford to bid!)

Found in northwest AR on bank of Buffalo river. I think it is Terrepene carolina triunguis based on distribution. Can someone confirm?
