@mikekutz you wouldn't want fingers near his mouth but he moves in slow motion until you hold a carrot in front of him - literally what happened to get him back into his enclosure hahahaha

Hugo is the same age as me and has a similar expression as I had this morning waking up. I've never seen a galapagos turtle this close up before. Fav.

@teiko hahaha you have made me laugh - I have had that expression before too
April 16th, 2014

@taffy @lisatargowska @3rdxoff
thank you so much - he is so full of wrinkles and shapes and lines and bumps - such an interesting array

@annied Aren't we all... after yesterday's shopping excursion, I hope to lose some of my extra bumps! :)

@3rdxoff I am smiling - dressing rooms always remind me of when my youngest daughter (about 5 at the time) said at the top of her voice "your bum looks big in that" and laughter erupted from me and the other ladies in there - up to that point I though I looked good

@kathiecb lol - yes a night cream might be a good idea

I have met Hugo, but the day I saw him he was too busy humping a large rock so I didn't think it was appropriate to take a photo of him. ha ha.
April 17th, 2014  
Wowwww, so impressive shot. What an age he's reached already!
April 17th, 2014  
Fav. I love the detail of his scaly skinn , and the way he is looking at you with disdain!
