Winking turtles
The sun came out, that may sound commonplace until your realize I am talking about Seattle, so let me repeat…. The sun came out….. It has been the most amazing May weather and with the sun a clutch of turtles have made their appearance on the lake just outside my window. I was looking down and I swear I saw a turtle winking back at me. I ran downstairs and sure enough sitting on a log was what I have now discovered is a Red Slider. Not just one red slider but logs full of them. I watch them out the window now, as soon as the sun comes out there they are, but more interesting are the kids and Boeing employees that wade thought the landscaping to peer through the rail sat them. They are the stars of the cove, where the logs and the trash back up against the jetty, maneuvering in the mud and sunning themselves on the logs.
