On my walk, early this morning, I was greeted by this huge turtle.
He stood still and watched me. I could get up close to take a look at him, and he looked old…maybe he was thinking the same thing about me!
His shell looked soft and scarred. I don’t know what kind of turtle he is, but he was big…at least the size of a basketball.
On my way home I circled back to see if he was still there, but there was no sign of him at all…not even a path through the grass to the pond.
Happy day, Mr. Turtle.
Oh, wow, a turtle this size seems like it may be a domesticated one set free. We once had a tortoise, even larger than this turtle, lumber across Willow Street and into our yard. It belonged to a neighbor.
That’s interesting…maybe it’s the same with this guy. Maybe the owner found him and took him away and that would be why I didn’t see any tracks…
I hope he was found!! He looked like he’d been through a lot of life. I get it Mr. Turtle!!
Too funny Mary Jane.
Pretty cool finding on your walk!, At Carleton?
It’s in our neighborhood there is a trail around three ponds.He was at Pond 1.
