June 19 ~ Turtles

 
On Gatineau Park bike rides this spring, we have seen 6 - 7 snapper turtles.
We think they are females, heading to the sort dirt of the road verges to lay their eggs.
We have agreed that the turtles we have seen, have been at least 2 feet long, nose to tail.
A bite from these creatures is no joke, so we have stayed well away.
This one was basking in the sun, after a chilly night.
