It's still June and June always means interesting visitors....
This is the third painted turtle that has shown up in my driveway looking for a place to lay eggs...
They dig holes in the gravel, lay their eggs and then dissappear back into the pond for another year...
and I have to try to remember where all the nests are so I don't drive over them.
The painted turtles are much more pleasant company than this platter sized, prehistoric monster who showed up last June....
Snapping turtles aren't really what I wanted to grow in my garden beds....
But I wasn't about to argue with her....
