Turnie's Tiny Tuesday

...he gets to go outside these days since it's been so warm~ :)

Here he is wandering about the yard, proverbial piece of grass in mouth.  I haven't blipped Tur in a long time.  For those of you new to him, he was a rescue box turtle originally known as Michelangelo, a science experiment long forgotten, who came to us in 2005.  We'd had him for a while when he got out of an enclosure in our back yard and went missing for a month.  Fellow blipper Mary Jo and I put out flyers to find him, and we did, but not before he had been run over by a lawnmower and thrown in a pond since the perpetrator thought he was a water turtle.  Shell cracked in two, he had to get antibiotic shots for 2 months.  But he's okay now other than his flat top shell, as you can see, just needs his beak trimmed.  What a trooper.  

Thanks so much everyone for checking out the Ragged Lady yesterday.  I'm practicing with extension tubes and such.  Today's was with a 31mm extension tube, 50mm lens~
