Turtle Mania

I have quite a bit of news to share - but the news that's going on right now- is that there is a nesting turtle in my front yard. I came home this afternoon to find this diligently digging female. She let me get close enough to take these pictures. When I tried to get more shots, she hissed, so I'd best leave her alone so she can finish her nest in peace. This is definately the excitement of the day!
