I love the way you capture all that you see when it comes to people, places, and things that the rest of us too often miss because it is “white noise”. Thank you, Bob.
"Turtles should be grasped gently along the shell edge and near the mid-point of the body.", quoth your "Here" link. If it's a snapper you're courting disaster--their neck can reach around to at least 50% the length of the shell*. Use two hands on the back third of the shell.

Thanks so much Kathi! Trying to figure out the wonders of the world brings me great joy.

Excellent point Bob! I move large snapping turtles with a shovel I always carry in the back of the truck!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
Wonder how loud the mayapple screams? Nice write up
The wonderful month of May! Thanks for sharing.
Tristan helped a painted turtle cross the road last week too. I really enjoy these articles!
Excellent!
