And one happy beast. Biggest I have ever seen in real life.
I kept my distance, said hello and watched him/her? disappear.

They seem so wise.
That is a big one for 😃 you don’t see many of the older ones as much these days. Thank you for sharing this ♥️
couldn’t help but imagine how a cloth portrait might go …
[s]he’s awesome!
I felt carried.
Rain rain for some reason the images dont appear, is it just me?
Yes, it must be you. Seems ok
They don’t appear in the email, are you clicking where it says read more?
Thanks, yes, was a browser problem, i was using Ecosia, switched back to safari and image appeared, shame, i like to support Ecosia.
it’s all a .tangle …🙃
So ancient. What a gift to lift the heart….and just after the house work is completed. Life can be good.
I can say, very grounding.
Earth creature – so wonderful. Are you going to remember her through stitch? What a beauty.
I didn’t think too, I am still sort of frozen in time.
In TN, a box turtle often came for a visit. there was a nearby pond and up she would come, beautiful brown and black markings. I don’t really know if she was a she but I like to think she was; I always felt spirit rising when I would see her. When my grand kids were little and living in San Francisco, one of our favorite places in the Botanical Gardens was a little area with a pond, bridge and massive rocks. Many turtles would bask on those rocks.
I live for these surprising moments.
Oh wow! This is wonderful, a true gift!
Soul-o spotted it first, while I just thought it was a rock.
you have been acknowledged.
never again will RainRainRain be the same
Later there were a pair of frogs, but no camera.
What a beautiful creation one of my favorites! Musz have been an amazing meetup❤️🐢
we had a small conversation , as best we could.
I’m sure you did I would have done the same❤️
Is that a nine patch on her back …..
ha!
Super cool! To see live in your oasis you feel so lucky! Last year we had a Gopher Tortoise cross our patio. I was beyond touched for nature’s miracles!
I love how life streams through if I just sit still for a moment.
WOW!! We get them about this big from the pond in Our woods , I think. They certainly are incredible 😊
love how they look right at you… old eyes
Oh that is special
yeah, made my day.
How exciting! I would love to see one again.
it’s been years, had one near the garden at the old place yet still hardly got a glimpse.
Her turtleneck looks knitted. Thank you for the close-up. I can’t imagine seeing a wild one!
so great to get a closer look
It is spring, they are on the move to find places to lay their eggs. They came into my mother’s yard every sping , traveled hundreds of yards to get there.
I have changed a lot of things here and I can see the life around me moving closer too.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
hey
A snapper. You’re wise to keep your distance.
someone once called me a snapper
So beautiful…love that you thought it was a rock until…
so funny really. I wish I could masquerade as a rock.
Wow!
Do they live there? Or is it someones pet that ran away?
Turtle is the personification for goddess energy and the eternal mother.(Animal medicine)
How special that she showed up for you!
Yes, they live here…
prehistoric looking. such a kind, gentle facial expression, as tho she’s weathered many a storm.
i can relate somewhat, ha!
Lovely…a reminder to slow down.
yeah, and so much just going
I love turtles! They have their very own sanctuary on their backs.
they are always a joy to see.
Looks like the big ones we have here! 🐢
I was so thrilled!
you have been blessed by this earthturtlemother. at least, in my mythology she’s a she.
I thought it was a rock, but then it started walking.
Wow. A gift.
Really. Huge. Almost friendly.
