A Spring Walk

On a lunchtime walk this week I came upon a fallen branch with ducks and turtles resting together in the sun. Before I took this photo there were several more large turtles and a couple more ducks, but unfortunately I scared them away. However, I found it a fine example of COEXISTING. Two species, one branch. HAPPY SPRING!

coexisting indeed! I love turtles, I especially love watching them when the are like this; almost like watching little kids in the water.

Maybe she's an older female turtle. You know the saying: Aahh, springtime...when a young man's fancy turns toward older women...I'd like to think she's older. ;o) What a great shot. Thanks for sharing!! (Do you take your camera with you everywhere you go??)
