Turtle Island

Come back to the island, my friends!

Potty Hijinx

I don't think Mama knows that I like hiding in the bathroom. Tile is cold, water nearby and it is sometimes dark.

Candeleria

Mama received this lovely and decorative turtle candle from Santa.

What's for Dinner?

Winter Blahs

My place is secure and my rock is my pillow. My wet, hard pillow.

Turtle Temple

And now, for a moment of Zen at Fukusai-Ji-Zen Temple in Nagasaki, Japan:

Creature Feature

How can anyone not love the Mary River turtle of Australia? He has a 'certain' something that I don't have. Like green hair, giant nostrils and chin horns. Character.

Fab Fob



Key ring finely crafted from
imported turtle hide



Still Rollin'

This fella had his front leg chewn off by some local varmint, but that wouldn't stop him or his owner from keeping him on the move! You go!

Pergamom Pal

Spotted cruising the ancient grounds of Pergamom, Turkey:

TURTLE OWNERS: Whatever you do as a terrapin owner, please don't do this:

Fat Bird

Baby on Board

Toro, Tortoise!

Bible Warrior

Look what "Santa" brought me this year, a new friend, the Bible Warrior!

Not sure if I should be afraid of this guy, with his crazed
look, clenched jaw and burly muscles. Or his WMD.

Turtle Burgers

Check out this complicated meat project: A hamburger wrapped in bacon and stuffed (or poked ) with hot dogs. They call it a turtle burger! Lotsa meat going on in there for a vegan.

Snow Bound

No snow here by the sea, so I will hold
my snow pose for now.
Landlubbers, go have a Happy New Year.
