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!
