Look who comes out in the sunshine!

On Friday the sun decided to shine so I went for a walk around our Botanical Gardens. I was pleasantly surprised to see this turtle sunning himself on a little island. I have only ever seen him once before! I guess he has learnt to make the most of the limited sun we're having - and yes today it is raining again!

Too cute! Have seen plenty over the weekend, but unfortunately they have all been on the roads....each one I'd pass I'd say a little prayer that they made it to the other side. Bit hard to stop on main highways :(
