Turtle Talk

 While Pieter was working in the yard, on May 24, 1993 a Turtle stopped by to Talk...
May 23, 2022 is World Turtle Day!
The little guy seemed not afraid as it looked at Pieter...
Not that tall...
On its way to our pond no doubt...

      Tutte le nostre creature del giardino vengono chiamate e diamo loro anche dei nomi!

  2. Turtles and tortoises are such interesting creatures. They can move home from one place to another without the need for a realtor estate agent.

    God bless.

      They sure are and by moving with their shell, it proves also to be far less stressful as they can reach a very high age!

  3. They're such ancient creatures, it's no wonder that some North American indigenous peoples refer to the continent as Turtle Island. I find them fascinating!

      Yes, they are very ancient and their faces are indeed fascinating.
      The North American indigenous people were so right about that!

  5. You brought back a wonderful childhood memory ... we had a turtle we named Myrtle! She was wonderful and lived a long, long time in her turtle bowl.

  6. No siente miedo alguno y por eso no ha puesto ninguna resistencia, cuando la ha cogido en su mano.

      ¡A menudo los animales sienten eso y confían en su sexto sentido! Maravillosa experiencia.

  8. I remember when I was down in Long Beach Ca, I saw a gal, all dressed up, walking her tortoise on a leash. It was a funny thing to see. We have a place in town called Turtle Bay and there are turtles all over the place.

      That sure must have been a funny sight but bet the turtle felt like being in heaven.
      As Kim here above mentioned that the indigenous people used to call our continent Turtle Island. We have plenty of turtle residents!
