The turtles are like statues...they aint movin! (esp into the water)
The one shown in the water had just left the food bowl and is looking get on the ramp with the others.

They are enjoying some of the last good rays of the season. I assume it won't be that long before they take a long nap.

^^^ Yeah..the weatherman is calling for a steady decline in our temps in the next couple weeks.
The turtles will be fine for a while yet, but I need to bring some of the plants into the garage before the frost appears or they will die. Helps to have some of them ready in the spring instead of starting from seed again.

The life of a turtle.

I remember... just like it was yesterday.

^^^ It's a long cold winter to spend on the bottom of a plastic tank!
