Talking Turtle

"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

God Bless Turtles

Best friends Madchen and Schatzie riding high!

Is it a seal pup or a puppy?

 Madchen's summer address.

The silent pet - all that's left of Buckshot's blanket.

fat mice? 

Beside the MS River, a tree and it's happy.

I see a happy turtle. Aja sees a dragon. JB sees a bathmat - no imagination.

What a runaway drop of tea made on the kitchen table. Is it a what or a who?

A drop of coffee making love.

Family tree. At least they're paying attention.

What is it? Two for one? Seal pup or just a pup?

SHE HAS THE LAST WORD

By the front entrance of Lake Tiak-O'Khata's lodge, the wagon wheel that helped clear the land is bent and broken by Mother Nature's wisteria. Fierce, isn't she?
