While traveling in the state of Florida, USA, we rented a place in Fort Myers that was way more than we expected.
This tiny home has provided us with not only a great living space, but also an abundance of wildlife to observe and appreciate.
Just check out my new friends who come every morning to greet us in our backyard, which includes the lake that these wonderful creatures live.
Fresh water turtles...
They look pre-historic to me...
When observed closely, you can see they have two different eyelids, I think one is for diving, the other eyelid seems to clear their vision for above water. It's cool to watch.
Nature is God's gift to man.
Appreciate it, enjoy it's beauty and wonder how we human's have gotten so lucky!!
Thanks Mom Nature, you are the best.

What an odd looking critter, the eyes and the snout, they just look otherworldly to me. Alligator eyes and a boars nose, I can see where they might be a tad bit more dangerous than a box turtle.

I wonder, if you lost a finger would it be cheaper to get your nails done. I would expect you would get a 10% discount.
