    It's a girl! Doing 1 of 4 things while sunning herself: 
    Laying eggs
    Resting after laying eggs
    Going back to water after laying eggs
    Finding spot to lay eggs

    Good spoting and watch out for turtles crossing the street.
    If you see one in the road and are very careful, move it the other side of the road in the direction it's facing.

    Big ol snapper, can grab it by the tail and hold it far away from you.

    (Not recommended) but I've done it before and have all 10 fingers. It will hiss and snap at you!

    We used to fish for carp as kids and catch monster snappers. We had one 'scarface' we'd catch often. Missing one eye and a gash along its head. Would catch them. Bring them up to the bridge we were fishing off, harass it for a while, throw it back. It would come right back to eat our bait again! Talking easy 24" diameter. 

    Ahh the good old days.


    Ok bye

    Rabbit babies all over my yard, they have been nesting for years… I do not disturb their lil home when I do yard work… had a stressful work morning, seeing them in the rain mist made things better. Love animals

    Ticks galore here. Big ones so not worried about them. Just gross and don't want to get bitten. Spare you all the pictures.
