Surprises

The day lilies that line the path outside the office building where I work were a bit of a mess this morning. I wondered why they had been dug up, and then I saw the big, oval rock. I like rocks and I'm not a fan of day lilies, so I thought, "Nice!" as I walked by. Once I passed, however, I realized all was not as it seemed! I stopped, looked back and was eyeball to eyeball with one big, honking mother turtle. Hunkered down, she was obviously laying her eggs. Way cool!

But nature wasn't done. A flock of wild turkeys was just around the corner, strutting and flapping their wings, putting on quite a display.

All this before 8 a.m. Wow!
