We were pleased to welcome some of our favorite repeat visitors to Stevenson Ridge this weekend. The water in our pond has warmed up enough that our turtles have resurfaced for the season! We have several red-eared sliders that make their home in the pond, and on occasion, we see a big snapper.
The turtles love to crawl up on the base of the fountain to sun themselves. They look like extra lumps on the metal disk (above). Sometimes they crawl onto the grass along the edge of the pond, but if anyone gets too close, they quickly “plunk!” back into the water.
