As I walked out to admire the view from the family room windows this morning ( in my jammies), I spotted a creature plodding toward the back porch. After the family was alerted, the little guy was given a fresh drink of water by the pecan trees. We hope he will make a home here… and eat lots of bugs.
Thirsty turtle...
Wow! A running stream in the desert... paradise!
Unfortunately, he isn’t showing good judgment so far… after drinking deeply at the pecan tree spring, at last report he was near the southern boundary of the property. Perhaps he is searching for more members of his species…
