Snapping Turtle





Hello, Gal!  While we drank our coffee on the porch, you dug a place to lay your eggs about ten yards away.  I am not a fan of your species because you eat the fish in my pond.  I tossed a golf ball at you and you scurried off.  The turtle poster told us that you can keep fertilized eggs in your body for a l-o-n-g time.  Hope you traveled a good distance before trying again to lay another generation.  But, if I see you again, you will be bagged up and taken to the Old Tannery Inn to be made into turtle soup! http://www.barfinder.com/listings/Old-Tannery-Inn-33460-details.aspx

A quick, first trip to the cabin this weekend.  The usual winter clean-up followed by photography shoots and time with Jim - Cornish game hens and spinach cooked to perfection topped off by an aromatic cigar!  We even had a snapping turtle laying eggs in the field this morning while having our coffee; until I hit her with a golf ball!!  More pictures in a later post.

Potter County Fair





The Potter County Fair is always a highlight of the summer.  It is held in Millport, PA and has all of the traditional stuff; cooking contests, delicious 'bad' food, animals and carnival rides.  More photographs in a Set  in my flickr account.

Off to Potter County today!



Got my bear spray, camera and a few morsels of food.  First trip of the season, so watch out mice!
