Wow! I was excited when I posted about the 17 Yellow-bellied Sliders we had on the raft a few days ago. But I never expected to see this sort of turtle on the raft. If any more of these come, I am going to have to add some more flotation to the raft!

is this a camera trick or is that bugger really that big?
Remember the day it was posted, April 1, and the “camera” trick idea becomes more plausible. Actually, I “photoshopped” a sea turtle on the raft in the lake behind my house.
That is a lovely, if wary, turtle.
