CELERY FARM: Painted turtle (video)
In addition to all the snapping turtle action in my sideyard, I had a painted turtle laying eggs in the backyard over the weekend.
Not quite as dramatic as the snapping-turtle video, but if you like turtles (and who doesn’t?), this one’s for you.
No, I did not play this music while she was laying her eggs, and no, I did not film for very long.
More on painted turtles here.
