Injured Turtle

Walking along the creek, I noticed this turtle has an injured back leg.

Looks like something tried to grab him and took his foot.

I hope he heals up.

Just Moseying Along

The box turtles are out and about.

I found this one crossing a trail.

Wet Wild Things

Its been so rainy lately that the only creatures I've seen are wet ones.
This turtle for instance.

And another sighting of the momma wood duck.
Her ducklings are in front of her near the weeds.

And a big ole carp.
