WHO PUT THAT BIG ROCK IN MY BACK YARD? NO, IT'S SUPER TURTLE!!
Glancing out my back window on Friday made me look twice. You know the feeling. You see something and then look away. However, the brain won't compute. So, you have to look again, and again. That's exactly what happened. Time to grab the camera.
I couldn't believe my eyes.
To get perspective on the size of this turtle, look at it next to the septic access in my back yard which is about 32 inches wide.
What kind of turtle is it? It's a Snapping Turtle, of course. How do I know that? As far as I'm concerned, there are only two kinds of turtles, Snapping Turtles and those that went into the soup. Snapping Turtles are often found in areas around water and there is a creek that goes through the moat in front of my home as well as a creek that runs down the hill on the left side of the lot, which is where it probably came from. It was a BIG turtle. Since I've spent a lot of time on lakes in the area, I see them often, but never one this big.
