a common snapping turtle 🐢
encountered this one crossing a busy road last year
i managed to escort it past the traffic lanes
they can grow to over 50 pounds and live several decades
the worn down carapace ridges suggest this specimen is fairly old

please keep off the walleye
we know you want to ride it
this 20-foot long walleye is by Mille Lacs Lake
2nd largest of the 11,000+ lakes entirely within Minnesota
200+ square miles of natural glacial lake
yet nowhere more than 45 feet deep

the furry cat needed a day off from her usual grueling schedule
of eating and sleeping and playing with toy mice 🐈
so she mostly just chilled and listened to the birdies sing 🐦
