We lived in Magnolia, DE (just a wee bit south of Dover) for three years before moving to Charlotte in the summer of 05. <br /><br />Delaware was flat and beautiful. I miss the beaches and those fabulous sunrises and sunsets...<br /><br />Have fun!<br /><br />MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040099513110890878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14327569.post-53599906860549963532009-05-17T17:58:00.000-05:002009-05-17T17:58:00.000-05:00I love the wild azaleas.

Great video of the turtle trying to reach high ground so he/she doesn't get washed away?

"...Oh what a lovely place you've arrived! "On the road again" - we used to sing that song in the car when on family vacations - teehee! Whatever that snapper is doing, it sure seems to like it! Here, we usually see the snapper only in the most still waters, usually with a muddy film on its shell, or we see them in the road (rescue time.) Unlike the slider or bog turtles that we pick up without hesitation and move from the middle of the road when they're busy crossing it to go lay their eggs, we are extremely careful moving the snapper. If you ever need to move one off the road, remember they have a whole lotta neck under that shell and can quickly disable whatever has just picked it up! <br /><br />And oh my... the cherished Lady's Slipper. We used to have a small population until AT&T came through about 20 years ago (laying their fiber optic cable.) We could not divert their path on our property due to the endangered Lady Slipper being directly in that path and the fact their path would destroy them. We moved them in hopes to preserve them, but - no luck. I'd give anything to see them in these woods again (lol - why did Morels just enter my head?) <br /><br />Great post!

That does look like a snapping turtle and we have them in our pond. I have done battle with them when they grab a duckling or duck. This is the time of year when they are getting up from their hibernation under water for the winter. Egg laying is in June. They aren't basking turtles so you only see them during breeding season..Cool video..
