May 23rd is World Turtle Day!

The purpose of World Turtle Day, May 23, sponsored yearly since 2000 by American Tortoise Rescue, is to bring attention to, and increase knowledge of and respect for, turtles and tortoises, and encourage human action to help them survive and thrive.

Here’s a few turtles I’ve photographed….

I like to call this one, Yoga Class Is In Session!

A large Softshell Turtle:

A large Tortoise at Flamingo Gardens in Davie, FL:

A Florida Gopher Tortoise in Labelle, Florida:

A little Florida Cooter at Big Cypress National Park:

A little baby at Green Cay Wetlands in Delray, Florida:

And my sweet, animal loving and animal rescuing friend Missi….helps a big mamma Florida Softshell who was trying to get under a fence…

Gunther LOVES to watch TV. He doesn’t like everything but he’s got a few favorites….

Meerkat Manor was a BIG highlight of his day! Too bad they don’t show it anymore. In the photo below you can see him watching it, we used to have to put the baby gate in front of the TV to keep him from going up to it and smearing his nose all over it. That’s our old TV by the way….we’ve got a new HD one that just blows that old one out of the water!

I can’t recall what he was watching in this photo below…sometimes, whether there are animals on or not, he’ll just sit there and stare. Lately he’s been enjoying Golden Girls re-runs with me since my back has been out of whack and I’ve spent a lot of time at home.

He also doesn’t restrict his viewing to the television, he’ll watch anything…..and if it involves cats…he’s thrilled!

This is one of his usual TV watching positions…

And a little video of him watching TV…please note this was before we got our beautiful corner unit for the TV, lol.
