These postings will center around things that I encounter that are interesting, beautiful, and sometimes the spiritual connection between all these things. This blog is for myself, perhaps more than for you, the reader. It is to remind myself of the passage of time and reflect on the beauty and meaning of the days.

New Baby Turtle
This is my new baby turtle. It got caught in a swimming pool skimmer and has come to live with me as of about a week ago. It is not a red eared slider, or at least it does not have red ears. If you would like to tell me what it is, I would welcome any suggestions. It is cute as can be, but it has not eaten anything since I had it. I have offered it a bit of chicken gizzard but it was not interested. Neither did it want anything to do with some floating turtle food.
It's probably a yellow belly slider. If the 'ears' don't make an 'S' shape, then it is probably a Cumberland Slider. Google both and I'm sure you will be able to see what i mean. It is definitely one of the two, or quite possibly a mix of both.

Want some more? Mary pulled two more out of the skimmers yesterday.
