Our Mother's Day was so much fun! We took a long canoe ride with Aunt Sandy and Rob, and saw turtles, frogs, ducks, and tadpoles. Here is Anders looking right at a small turtle, which I have correclty identified as a "Painted Turtle." We scooped it up with a net, and of course returned it to the water when we were done looking at it...but not until after Anders held it and surprisingly dropped it into the bottom of the boat. (I don't think the turtle liked that too much!) All of the turtles we saw were these yellow and red painted turtles, but we also got to see a large snapping turtle all tucked into the mud. So cool!There were lots of trillium bursting out all over so we decided to take photographs amidst the enthusiastic blossoms. This purple one was a real beauty - properly called Wake-Robin Trillium, because it's color, like a Robin's, also heralds Spring.
Happy Mother's Day!!
