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.

The turtle photos were taken with Canon 70-200 lens and 6D camera. The signs were captured with my iPhone camera.

At school I have a nice neighbor. It makes a difference when someone is glad to see you and says hello. Cares about how you are… I get to school and the room is undone cause the music teacher moved all the tables(we share the room) and my neighbor, Ms. P, comes over and pitches in, lends a hand to get it set up in two minutes flat! WOW! And today Ms. P had a sub for later in the day when she went to a training/ her sub, Ms. H offered to clean the turtle’s aquarium, just needed an apron and some gloves. So Spot was out of his home for a time and I went and got the camera. At first he was shy and seemed uninterested in my attention and then he started to open his mouth in a threatening/welcoming(?) gesture. Spot lives across the hall in the First Grade Classroom- 214. He is a shared pet. A Duquesne U professor has him part of the time. Spot is an interesting creature and looks like a remnant from prehistoric times..
