Simple Pleasures

Up they pop. Down they drop. The turtles at the nearby pond make us laugh. Simple as that!
Good relaxing shot, lovely clear water.

@lhart Thank you, Lynne! It's very windy on the beach today, so we took a short bike ride instead. We headed straight to the turtle pond, where the turtles always swim over to greet us. They pop up, hang there in the water for a while, and then drop down and pop up somewhere else!

@bkbinthecity Thanks much! It's a simple image, I know; but it brings a smile to my face. We love those funny turtles, and watching them is pure joy!

@cejaanderson Thanks, Jane! No trip to the Outer Banks is complete for us without a visit to the delightful turtle pond!

@juliedduncan Thanks so much, Julie! There are dozens of them in the pond, and we look forward to seeing them each year. The water is always very clear, so it's fun to see them coming and going beneath the surface before their heads pop up!

He's a good size turtle - and that water is so nice and clear. Bet they are fun to watch - I spot them sunning on logs until they see me - then plop into the water and disappear.

@mccarth1 Thank you, Kerry! Turtles really are so neat. We only see them occasionally at home. A month ago, we found one in the skimmer basket of our pool. My husband lifted it out; and thankfully, it was just fine after a few minutes of rest!
