Turtle

Gideon went running into our side yard tonight and began circling something that I feared was a dead animal that he would try to make a snack. When I went to check it out I found this:




A snapping turtle about as big as my two hands was just hanging out in the grass. Gideon got too close and got a good nose snap. Betsy was smarter and kept a safe distance. :)

Last weekend we were walking at the forest preserve and I nearly stuck my face into a five foot long snake that was stretched out on a branch that was hanging at eye level.

We got wildlife down here in Ohio! ;)
