Longtime readers will remember that my father created Turtle Island for my birthday, a little raft that the pond's turtles could use for their sunbathing. I've watched the raft avidly for the past two months and had a great deal of delight from it. Here's a recap of the three best turtle pictures (I apologize for the picture quality; I do not have a telephoto lens for my camera):
Today I reeled in Turtle Island, and I did so with a touch of sadness. I know that I'll be able to relaunch it in spring, of course, but I will still miss the turtles very much.

I have a turtle island in the small lake that is part of my 'front yard'. You can see it on my blog page

It's real, is shaped like a turtle, and the lake turtles lay their eggs in the sand in the rock crevices. The first time we saw the island, we all thought it looked like a turtle, and so we named it thus. My father bought the land by the lake almost 30 years ago.
That is absolutely beautiful! What an amazing view--you are very, very lucky! So cool. Thank you for sharing that with me!
