My Sunday Snapshot #14
Hi, welcome to My Sunday Snapshot 14! I had a little surprise waiting for me when I was cleaning the pool skimmer. Usually the skimmer is filled with leaves and a few small bugs. Well, this time a baby turtle!
When I first saw this turtle I wondered if it was a snapping turtle. Snapping turtles are not a wanted turtle for our fishing ponds. So I text a picture to Kevin and he was the one who identified my little surprise turtle.
Have a wonderful week!

Pictures can produce so many different emotions and feelings. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words! Share your fun and interesting image from the past week.
I’m glad you saved him!
He was sure a cute little guy!
Debra, Thanks for visiting and commenting on my fishing post tablescape. I appreciate it. I’m looking forward to your link party on Friday. Loved your turtle photos, and glad it was not a snapping turtle. Unfortunately, our skimmer has once had a snake – only once in 34 years, but in Texas many snakes are poisonous so I never open the skimmer at night without a bright flashlight. Better safe than sorry here. Have a great week! Patty
Hi, Patty. I would never check my skimmer at night! Too many ‘things’ can end up in there. Please do stop by on Friday’s. You will always be welcomed.
Take care and best wishes.
Aw, such a cute little turtle! I love wildlife, they are so majestic and beautiful. I have many favorites. Dolphins, giraffes, turtles, and hippos to name a few. (The hippos were added very recently when we visited them at an aquarium) 🙂 Thank you for sharing!
You are most welcome, Kristen. Thank you for visiting and commenting.
Take care and best wishes.
So cute! But, yes, I suppose you DO need to be careful of what kinds of turtles you let go where. I’ve never heard of a mud turtle. Visiting from Gma’s Photo Generic linkup.
Hi, Jennifer. For sure, snapping turtles eat the fish Kevin likes to catch 🙂
Thank you for visiting.
Take care and best wishes.
I love the pattern on the underbelly! Melynda @scratchmadefood!
I thought it was interesting. Wonder if the design is like human finger prints? I never thought about this until you pointed out the pattern.
Take care and best wishes.
Oh my goodness what a precious little thing!
Hi, Paula. I was quite tickled when I seen the little turtle. Very cute. But aren’t all things cute when they are little? hahahah
Thank you for visiting.
Take care and best wishes.
Well that was a fun find!
Welcome to Gma’sPhoto, Lisa. Yes, a fun find for sure!
Take care and best wishes.
What a delightful surprise!
Finding a turtle in your pool skimmer must have been quite the unexpected discovery. They’re such adorable little creatures! 🐢
Happy Saturday!
Hi, Veronica. Yes, indeed a delight!
Thank you for visiting. Have a wonderful week.
Take care and best wishes.
Aww, what a sweet surprise!
Hi, Amy. Welcome to Gma’sPhoto. Yes, the little turtle was quite a surprise!
We call those sun or painted turtles here… we used to get quite a few of them near/on our beach each year and my oldest even raised one in a tank in his room for quite a few years. I was surprised to find that they are such curious creatures; any time we tried to clean his tank it was really hard to keep him contained and not lose him in the house!
Funny you said your oldest raised one. When I saw this one, I immediately thought of my youngest grand daughter. She would have wanted to keep it! I couldn’t image a loose turtle in my house 🙂
Thanks for stopping by and visiting.
Take care and best wishes.
I hope he recovered well after he was found and rescued. He looks very curious in the last photo.

Hi, Soma. Welcome to Gma’sPhoto!
That is so cute. Hopefully, he is ok. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.
Hi, Patrick. The little turtle was for sure cute!!
Oh how cute!! What did you do with the little guy?
Hi, Heather. I actually let him stroll away. He went towards the grassy area.
