Not sure if this is a young snapping turtle but at my daughter’s daycare they come up from the pond to lay eggs and scare away the kids.  This one was only maybe 3×6″ compared to some giants that look like garbage can lids.

No clue what type of flower this is but it was only in bloom for a few days and most of those days it was not in a pretty full bloom.  I helped it out by folding back two of the petals, if not the plant would not of produced any flowers worthy of an image this year.

One of the most enjoyable times of the year for me and my youngest daughter is when our organic strawberries are in season.  Today I picked 2 ripe ones and will let my daughter hunt for more when she gets home.  Biting into a nice juicy and seedy strawberry is so much better than those crappy ones that are grown in chemicals.  Cut open an organic one and it’s red inside, cut open one from the supermarket and it has white stuff…chemical cum?
