A monstrous turtle emerges from the muck.
It’s gigantic.
Look closely - a typically-sized Midwestern turtle sits next to its foot.
It must be close to its size-limit, with a possible 30-inch diameter shell and weighing well in excess of 100 pounds. It’s possible that this beast is 40+ years old.

I shall name him Discworld.
This very popular photo portrays a snapping turtle that emerged after hibernation carrying the "earth" on its back.

"Adalar hep yalnızdırlar.. Tek başına ve denizin ortasında...Hiçbir yere kıpirdamazlar ama insanlar eğer isterlerse ona ulaşır, onu severler ya da sevmezler.Bir daha gelir ya da gelmezler.Ada ise hep durur, kimse geldi ya da gitti diye yıkılmaz. "
İşte o benim ada'm.

Male cardinals are beginning to look brighter and brighter, the closer we come to spring. Healthy males are newly molted, with bright new feathers.
Soon, pair-bonded males will start mating rituals with their long-term mates, while young, single males will compete to find a life-long companion.
Northern Cardinals are especially monogamous. They are never too far away from each other.
