SNAPPER SNAPSHOTS
This young snapper just crawled out of our orchard after a long winter nap.
Most likely it hatched last September and headed for our wetland winter home.
I was lucky enough to save it from Maggie's grip!
Roadside nesting spot alongside Dorcas Bay Road.
Loose gravel is their first choice in landscaping.
This snapper is smart enough to move away from the local road.
A healthy coat of algae is the result of long periods under water waiting for prey.
This snapper is hanging on the edge during her special delivery.
Their shell is somewhat small compared to their head and legs and as a result their snapping skills are used for protection.
This lady just wants to have it over!!
Expressive face.
They can weigh about 40-50lbs and live as long as 100 years.
Yes indeed, you're sticking your neck out crossing this road.
The snapper is very adaptable, this one uses her nose like a front end loader.
This year the Midland Painted Turtle joined in the laying game.
This is the first year I've noticed them so close to the snappers.
Here's a biggee looking for a soft spot.
Hey-you looking at me?
See you next year!
Drive careful here in September. This area will be covered with these beautiful creatures.
The following is a collection of the wildflowers in the area of the
Snapping Turtles.

LOOKING AT DORCAS BAY
This time of year, Dorcas Bay is worth a look.
When you look down: plants grow out of rocks.
Lady slipper colours are deepening.
Near the end of their spring cycle.
We'll miss them a bunch.
Singing Sands Welcome
Beach Grass
Wild beach Flowers
When you look out: a heron wanders on the shore line.
A mud turtle wanders on Dorcas Bay Road.
"Watch it Maggie,we're out numbered".
Evergreens experienced great growth this spring
Even our rocks seemed to have grown!
Wooden you know it, hunting season has closed.
When you look up: skies put on a show.
An evening walk at Singing Sands is a joyful view any time of the year.
