"Well, hello there."
She stopped and looked up
"You're very pretty.
Show me what you can do."
Try as I might,
I could not get the video to upload.
With her back legs
she demonstrated
building a nest
using hand-like motions
she pulled and pushed
handsful of earth
creating space
deep enough
to hide her eggs
she covered them with leaves

Fine work little Mama
We missed the hatchlings
that made their way
back to the river
