Here is a pic of my late best friend with one of the many turtles she found for me. Whenever we were down at the cabin “Frogwarts”, on the shore of a slow moving creek, she was free to run around and explore. Besides tennis balls, turtles was her speciality.
Whenever the turtles came ashore to lay their eggs, I would hear her out baying them, so I would have to go out to retrieve her so they could finish their business.
I think this may be a River Cooter, but maybe Red eared Slider.
I know the next shot is an amphibian rather than a reptile, but it reminds me of Sass. We were packed and headed for home one Monday morning. I stopped the truck at the end of the driveway to leave the trash in the can out by the road. Well, I heard this frog singing just out in the woods, so grabbed my camera and took this shot of a Green Treefrog, on a Sassafras sappling by the way.
When I got back in the truck, I found the foil that had been wrapped around a nice big chunk of grilled salmon that I was planning to have for lunch, which I always enjoyed sharing with her.
When I saw that she had hogged it all, I scolded her in a very hurtful way! While she knew she had done wrong, she didn’t seem too remorseful and I only had myself to blame for leaving her with easy access for too long. So while I like this shot, it’s kind of bitter sweet, and dang , I miss her companionship.
