Hi there! I thought I'd pop in for a moment to show off the little baby turtle Nick found last evening on a walk through a local park.
My husband told me it was a snapping turtle, but after looking at pictures online, I believe it to be a painted turtle.
Oh, how the boys wanted to bring him home and keep him as a pet. Of course, they want to keep every animal they find. Like the big toad Nick found today. But, mean ol' mom made him put the turtle back after we spent a few minutes with it. He was pretty happy to disappear back into the pond near where Nick found him.
I was tempted to bring him home though. I mean, look how cute he is! And I've always wanted a turtle. But considering we just flushed Alex's deceased guppy the other day, I didn't think we were ready for the responsibility of a turtle. :) (I will admit, the guppy did live longer than I expected. Does anyone need an almost full container of fish food?)

He is soooo cute! Love the close up. I'm sure it was hard to let him go. We...and by we, I mean the kids...have a hard time letting things go, too.
So adorable!! I love turtles!!
How adorable!!!!!! I love that you not only find all these amazing critters but you capture them so well.
What a lucky find, and a great shot you got of him as well. I've had 5 little baby turtle pets, all the same size as this one - and they're adorable!

What a cool shot! Love the colors!
