Excellent photos! I really enjoy the way the turtles reflect on the water. Great observations—I stopped to appreciate the turtles on some recent walks too.
Thanks Michael and agreed on the good omen. Funny too as we had about 10cm/4 inches of snow the previous two days - last gasp of Winter. The warm Sunshine of Spring made short work of that snow though. The turtles no doubr appreciated that!
Absolutely! I’m hoping to see the local turtles here soon at the ponds, but not enough sunshine yet. I have, however, discovered a Bewick’s Wren nest by one of the ponds and the pair are quite busy going in and out of it. It is an amazing architectural design, like a tear drop in the tree. I’ll try to get photos to share.
Thanks and they definitely looked like they were enjoying themselves. :)

Thanks James. I'm hoping to see more on my upcoming hikes. I like how they seem to simply sit and watch the world go by around them.
I agree with James! Happy to see them there and happy that you were present to get those pictures to share! They seem like creatures of good omen!

Beautiful! I also agree with James about the way the turtles reflect on the water. Outstanding photography and poetry, so apt for Spring and hopeful.
Thanks Heidi - the turtles seem have that hopeful smile of Spring. And doubled if we include the reflections. :)

That's awesome and hopefully the turtles make an appearance soon. Also looking forward to upcoming photos of a Bewick's Wren and their nest.
Beautiful 😍
Thanks Hajra. :)
The turtles are enjoying the beautiful day like we are. And are human watching in the process
Agreed Perry - that beautiful sunny day weather can be enjoyed by all.
We can’t wait to see our painted turtle’s on our pond. Loved your photos.
Thanks Wendy and hopefully the turtles in your pond appear soon. :)
