A late afternoon outing to celebrate a burst of warmer weather turned out to be a few days away from a big snowstorm - one of the biggest of the winter.
But, like me, creatures that need the sun and warmth were out basking, oblivious to what was coming.
I don’t like to anthropomorphize wildlife, but it was nearly impossible to see this creature, having climbed up above the water, as anything other than Yertle: the highest-basking turtle on the lake.
