We had left the pool and were going home
I didn’t really want to pick it up
but with the guidance of my friend Beverly on the cell phone and a grocery bag as a glove, I got it off the pavement onto the park’s grass. It had even crawled under my car!
Beverly’s husband Henry is the zoological expert and he identified the species from my pic A Red Ear Slider which I looked up and unfortunately is an invasive species due to pet releases.

My granddaughter Shanti (6) photographed the bunny in the yard next door.
I think of the book when I see rabbits in the wild.
“Watership Down is a classic 1972 adventure novel by Richard Adams about a group of wild rabbits fleeing their doomed warren to find a new home, facing predators, challenges, and building a new society on Watership Down in England”
We were on our way to Carnegie Library.

Early Wednesday morning I was headed out to Cardio class at the Senior Center.
The robins didn’t mind my getting in my car. I photographed them through the windshield.
I had just photographed the deer resting on the way back yard. Wondering if her baby was hiding in the weeds. Where she’d placed him or her.
A regular wildlife refuge. They feel safe here.
Morning sighting.
Mary saw this deer in the backyard of our Airbnb in Ohio.
Evening sighting on the way back to the Airbnb
Nature.
Thursday morning I was on my way to get a haircut. I pulled over and stopped on the hill to take this photo.
A Turkey Vulture having a winter lunch of road kill, either rabbit or squirrel.
Today’s topic a little grim perhaps but the bird is dependent on something to scavenge and can’t go to the market to buy lunch.
