If this turns out to be Summer of the Snake instead of Summer of the Dragonfly (like last year, which was great because dragonflies are awesome.) I’m gonna be kind of pissed because while I don’t hate snakes they are not my favorite things to stumble across on my nature walks.

But I did get to see this really small snapping turtle. It was the size of a novelty keychain or something. So tiny cute!

Kelly wanted to catch it, but I’m not one for catching things, and also turtles stink, and what do I know, they may carry some kind of plague or something. (Not that I’ve ever heard of anyone dying from Turtle Flu. Actually, I just made Turtle Flu up. But Google tells me they may have Salmonella. So I guess it’s a good thing I didn’t catch it. Cos I could be dead by now.)  That thing was so tiny that I wouldn’t be surprised if it had hatched this morning or yesterday.
