Nature Done Wright

Took this shot in the side yard this morning. The Momma Snapping Turtles are once again depositing dozens and dozens of eggs. 

I would have put a quarter next to the turtle to give you a sense of scale, but I'd like to still be able to count to ten. Let's just say it's a big turtle but not a gigantic one.

I have column about this annual rite of late May — and how it relates to birds — on Thursday in The Record.  (I'll post a link when it's on-line.)
