Look at these guys all lined up in the pond at Brenman Park at Cameron Station in Alexandria. The weather was warm on this day and we saw turtles swimming as well as sunning. Unlike the little fella that I photographed last November, these guys were prompted by the warm weather to shed their “turtlenecks” and do that bunny hop dance thing. I think that these guys might be snapping turtles, possibly different from the one I ”snapped” in November.

(Thanks to Bird for pointing out the cool-weather threads in her comment on November’s post!)

p.s. While testing Bird’s link I discovered that today is her birthday! If you have a moment, please go give that girl a shout—she and her blog are awesome!

We came across this little guy in Mason District Park in Fairfax County, Virginia, the same place where yesterday’s “autumn colors” pics were taken.

Courtesy of Mother Earth: springy fall flower


I realize it’s autumn and everyone is focused on the yellows and oranges and reds, but I recently saw this pink flower and immediately noticed how out of place it looked amidst the golden foliage and browning grasses. I think it may possibly be a type of Bougainvillea, but am not sure (please comment if you know otherwise!). For those of you who prefer warmer temperatures and a spring-time feel in the air, look at this beautiful flower, then close your eyes and imagine…
