A green snake, a box turtle, and a baby turkey. All were admired and then released, although we briefly considered keeping the turkey.

Beautiful creatures, we’ve found the first two in and around our garden.
That baby turkey is too cute! Great pictures!
My seven year old son is very interested in Mommy’s blog reads today!
Recent events here…7 ft. King Snake that wanted to go to battle with our neurotic dog. Same dog has a tally of killing 5 birds while in flight. On the way to school every morning we have to negotiate the wild turkey traffic jams. Oh, now that Spring has sprung the Quail covies are alive with the sound of music ( and beeping car horns). So far, nothing worth risking our lives for the sake of cuteness.
you are so brave with the snakes!
These images stirred some wonderful childhood memories for me. I hope I will let my littles explore with such abandon.
Awsome fun! Love the pics. Also the same about the last post.
Oh love it!! I love that aren’t afraid of different types of animals. Ella would be right there with them, Austin however would stay back at least 10 feet.
What fun finds. Love the pictures.
Very neat! My daughter would have loved to see the box turtle as she really wants one. Cool photos of the snake too and the turkey is just precious. What fun things to find on your property (or around).
wow! What an experience or rather experiences for your children!

The look on Lark’s face is priceless in that first pic! I don’t think I would be even that brave!
Turkey looks a bit freaked out!!! great photos!!!
It was peeping loudly!
LOVE that shot of Beatrix holding the snake – I have the same camera as you but your photos put mine to shame!
Wow, great pics. Love the one of the snake in the grass, great capture.
Such brave kids to hold the snake. I would have run the other way. Very cool looking turtle and the baby turkey is so neat!
oh my….a snake….. (ours are mostly poisonous!)
I like the look on the turkeys face though!
