Sometimes a drive through Ding isn’t necessary in order to see a big bird and a big turtle. A neighbor called to tell me this very big Florida Softshell Turtle was getting ready to cross the street. I’ve previously seen it going from our lake and crossing the street and into the swampy woods behind the houses. It appeared to be on that same trail today.
Truly a face only a mother could love!
When you look out your kitchen window at dawn and through the trees you see a 4 ft. bird standing on the top of the chimney of the house next door, the only thing to do is grab your camera and go take some pics!
Just as the sun was starting to hit his face, he decided to fly away.
