It is hard to interact with my buddy and try to 'shoot' him at the same time.Often at night I walk out of the shed to find my friend in the little stream,looking up at me.I have seen him bite a chicken leg in two,like it was a twig!Sometimes he comes when I call him.I feed him scraps like I would a dog.Raw stuff is his favorite.One afternoon a few days ago,I had two neighbors come to see him.For the first time ever,and being a little bit drunk,I fed him a hot dog by hand!There are three different kind ofwater turtles in there,and one type on land. And,oh yeah,I have known him for about fifteen years now.

Hi Carl,
Your buddy????
Your friend??? (I am kidding!)
Ok well I like different animals too, so therefore why not a turtle. THIS ARE GREAT SHOTS!
Thankyou for your nice words while visiting my blog (about the Vet's visit) YES I always tru=y to make the best of everything.
Have a good weekdn greetings for you family . JoAnn :)
Fine shots of your long-time friend. You've captured him quite well. I don't know about feeding him by hand! :-)
Great shot, great story. Oh, by the way Daddy always said if a turtle bites you he won't let go until it thunders. I have always doubted that and don't want to learn it through you so watch out. I trust your judgement though. Mama.
Your braver than I am! Snapping turtles...my fingers...no, not me.
lol lavender lady :) I'm with you!
I adore most animals (snakes and insects and spiders are not animals in my book!) though so maybe I'd chance feeding him. ;-)
What a wonderful thing to have a turtle as a buddy! Fifteen years ~ wow! :)
And what is his name?
