Turtle Wrangling 101

Comments (0) | Trackbacks (0)

If you see one of these guys on the side of the road, do not be afraid. Well, be a little afraid. They could easily take off a finger or toe.

We saw him on the way up to Calumet on Sunday morning.  He was too close to the road for my comfort, so I stopped and decided we needed to save him from an unfortunate demise under somebody’s wheel.

“We”, of course, did not mean me because I had to take pictures.  So, here’s our guide to turtle safety. 

First, turn the turtle around by stomping on the ground in front of him.  If he’s a mild mannered fellow like this guy was, he’ll turn around.  If not, and he hisses and/or lunges at you, then you’re on your own.

Once he’s turned around and pointed in the right direction, continue to stomp the ground behind him.  Josh recommends saying soothing & encouraging things during this process.
Continue to stomp until he makes his way back toward the swamp.
Turn around to make sure the photographer is still on the scene.
When he gets stuck, helpfully point out the correct direction. “Over here!  You need to go over here! Look, here, where I’m pointing!”
If he refuses to listen, indignantly place your hands on your hips and give up.
The end.

Apple Blossoms

Josh's apple tree is in full bloom. The bees are going crazy with the pollenating. If you stand at the trunk of the tree and look up, all you see is bees swarming everywhere. I tried to get a shot of one of them, but the little buggers are too quick. Pretty, right?
