The Turtles



Here are twenty-three turtles on a log in the Potomac River.  They are all Red-bellied Turtles (Pseudemys rubriventris).  (The species has appeared on the blog twice before.) 

I took the picture in May; now those turtles are sleeping in the mud at the bottom of the river.  And at this time of year we should all be sleeping in the mud at the bottom of the river. 

If you’re not able to sleep in the mud at the bottom of the river, at least take a few moments to think about the turtles who are.
