Washington DC May 9 2010
On the mall for Mother's Day, excorted the lovely Mrs. W to the Smithsonian Museum of American History and Technology. Mall was sunny with only an occasional cloud or two. Strangely cooler than usual for May, though.
Eastern Box Turtle
The Eastern Box Turtle: It has an incredible range, well past the Mississippi River and as far north as northern Michigan - - that means it can endure some pretty icey conditions. Can live to over a hundred years. This fellow was found in my back yard. Considering there are 6 outdoor cats patrolling the premises, that makes for a fairly sneaky turtle.
