• Apr. 28, 2008 - Playing in the "Creek"

It's only run-off, but it's clear water, and very fast. That little drop-off in the foreground is a spot where the water totally inverts as it rushes over a tiny waterfall. Pretty cool.

Look what we found! Salmonella carriers! (Heh, jk, I hope.)

Hellooo in there!

They didn't care to look this noisy crew over. In fact, we may have interrupted a "romantic moment"--erhem. Together again:

Probably someone will comment and say they're both males or females or somesuch. I'd love to know.

It was definitely a "misty-moisty morning."

Let's teach little brother how to jump over the creek. First you do this:

Then you do this!

And there you are.

Come along, lag-behind!

That's a nice view of the front yard.

Your land is just wonderful. My kiddos would love to be able to find such wildlife like that.
Blessings,

You really got some great pictures! The colors are so rich looking and those are some great shots of your kids!
I don't know how to tell about the turtles. My kids used to find them all the time and I never bothered to educate myself on them.
You made me laugh with the salmonella joke. That is just the sort of thing I think and struggle not to say when my kids walk up with critters, so pleased with themselves.

I love the pictures. It looks beautiful. Is that a lilac bush? I planted one in P'ville that obviously I will never see. Guess I'll try again. : - )

Posted by Rose

It looks as though one of the turtles is slightly larger, and has more vibrant coloring, than the other one. I would take this to mean that both genders are represented here.

Your lilacs are lovely! Ours are just about to bloom, way up here in Northern New York.

Thanks for sharing these pictures. I am truly happy for your family - you deserve to live in such beauty.

I'm amazed at the transformation of your property since I saw it mid-late March. How beautiful! So green now, with flowering trees. It must seem to be a little bit of heaven to you.
