Sunday Seconds

Many Philadelphia Fleabane are flowering along the marsh road.  Some Giant Chickweed can also be found.  And near the lake, I spied a patient mother working on a spring clutch.  

Enjoy!

Snappy Mama

Early morning a female common snapping turtle was busy near the creek path.  She was laying her eggs.  Her young have many predators nearby.  She herself can be 'harvested' by humans once her carapace length is greater than 30.5 cm (12 in.)   Many people think turtle meat is tasty.  I remember eating turtle as a child in Southeastern MN.


Enjoy!
