Yesterday when we were crossing the St. Croix River, this turtle was right up there on the bridge. It’s an Eastern Spiny Softshell. A very strange looking turtle, especially when it runs. It looks kind of like a frisbee with legs. (Note: I said I wouldn’t guarantee there’d be no more turtle pictures).
One of them took off never to be seen again, but the other one hung around so I could take it’s picture. Wasn’t that nice?
I had a Duh! wildlife moment the other day. I saw this dragonfly on top of my garden flag, so I went into the cabin to get my camera before it flew off. I took pictures from all different angles, hoping to get a decent one.
When I was ready to change the flag I tried to flick it off, so it would fly away. Well duh, it was dead! The only place that dragonfly was going was in my hand…
and on the little glider seat of the swing set where the flags hang. Duh!

Love the pictures. That bear is cute, and as close as I want to get to one.
laughing at the inert dragonfly.
but those bears are awesome!!!
wow, that turtle is the 'Flounder' of the turtle species so flat!
Busted out laughing about the dragonfly :D
(Bears scare me to death)
Once again you found something I've never seen before! the turtle. I've never seen one like that. What else can you find that I've never seen? It's a challenge Cindy lol.
Love, love, love the bears!
That dragonfly....isn't that odd? I don't think I have ever seen a dead one just hanging around like that. You would think he would have fell off.
That is a very unusual dragonfly. I have never seen one with wings exactly like that.
I like the turtle pictures!
