Turtles' Springtime Awakening

3/19/2022

 
I was very excited to see turtles appearing in the pond again.  They woke up all of a sudden and crawled to the floating logs for a nice sunbath.  In some of the pictures I took, there was a photobomb.  A small protrusion of a log appeared like the head and face of a turtle, and competed for attention with its light color.

At a closer look, the turtles looked like special forces soldiers wearing helmets and camouflage uniforms and practicing an amphibious landing.  A large turtle was climbing to a log, like a tank roaring and was directed by a nearby soldier using sign language.

In the small pond, there was a family of turtles using a car tire as their stage of performance.  During the photo session they uniformly lifted their heads.  After the session, they self-announced "At ease!" and scattered all over the place.
