Those were red-eared sliders. I used to get them at Woolworth's back somewhere in the 19th century.

It is so funny when we first moved here to the central coast i was walking down this street one day and saw a turtle off the side of the road. I thought "Oh know someone has lost thier turtle". And then realized I was standing right next to a wetlands! And that was his home. I don't know what our turtles are called I will have to find out!
and I love turtles too! We had a big dessert tortoise when I was a kid. Oh my next door neighbor has a turtle that has been with tier family for over 50 years. It belonged to her grandma then her mom and now her. isn't that cool! They just moved in. And she said the turtle love really ripe almost rotten fruit. So I said that is great since I have two plum tree's and and apple tree! I will be supplying all thier summer turtle fruit!

I am currently fostering 6 baby diamondback terrapin turtles in my classroom. I am supposed to let them go in the bay soon. Nope, I am in love with my tortugas. They are currently the size of half dollars and I am not sending them out to be eaten by a big flounder. Nope ain't gonna happen. I will take a pic and post it for my fellow turtle overs.

I found a tiny baby turtle in my garden the other day. So precious!

I talked sweetly to him and left him hiding among the chives.
