Big Mama

The most awesome thing ever happened when we were going on a ride this weekend. The guys were ahead of us, and we were cycling behind them. we saw the guys start flagging us to slow down and turn around because the roads were flooded. they asked, "did you see the turtle?" i was like, "what turtle?" my friend thought it was a fake concrete turtle, so she argued that it wasn't real. we went back and lo and behold....big mama. this poor girl had been run out of her home by the flooding. she was laying eggs as we stood there. we called Department of Wildlife to tell them...

it was just amazing watching this all unfold. oh, she was about a foot and a quarter across.
