Camera Critters #11

Camera Critters is a weekly meme brought to you by my BBFF, Misty.

Here is our new pet. Well I don't know if you would call him a pet or not because he lives in our pond. I'm not even sure if it's a HE or a SHE, but the kids named the turtle Billy.

*Waving* Hiiiiii Billy! Nice to meet you. Ya know, I really like the name, because, actually, it can work for a boy or a girl.

Billy is C.U.T.E.! I love that last pic - most turtles would pull back and hide in his/her shell. But, oh no... not Billy_D - Billy just HAS to keep that cute face out for the camera ;-)

Very cool you have a Billy living in your pond! Did you know dogs like to eat turtles?

Thanks for visiting me!

storyteller said...

Ah … this makes me miss my tortoises. We donated them to a local ‘rescue’ group about 30 years ago when we moved here because our yard is just too small. Sorry you got so much sun and hope your head is feeling better. Mine’s up at Small Reflections.
Hugs and blessings,

I had pet turtles years ago ... and they kept getting bigger (they were indoor turtles). I eventually had to give them away. It would be a lot cooler to have them live outside. What will you do with it when winter comes?

Deb - Mom of 3 Girls said...

Wow, what a cool turtle! We had one for a little while when I was a kid but it never got nearly that big. :)

nonizamboni said...

What a handsome turtle! And aren't you lucky to have a place for him/her so close to you.
Thanks for sharing!
