Why hello, new friend

Why hello!

This snapping turtle found its way to our lawn after some heavy rain storms.  From the scrapes on the shell, it looks like it has been through a lot.  We have spotted turtles before (painted, box and snapping), usually near a driveway or when we are mowing the grass.  I was surprised that this one found its way to the gravel driveway one day, and the next day I spotted it on the lawn two acres away.  I was a bit surprised that I saw it too, consider its size compared to the lawn and it’s portion of the vista from the verandah from I found it.  Intriguing discovery!
