Awww!

    Not  EVERYTHING  is pretty here in Florida . but I happen to think so..  These are   Soft shelled turtles.. this one is a baby  (small)   like a saucer.  The other (below) could be  mom or dad .. (under the water) they are about a foot and a half in diameter.  Twice the size of a dinner plate, and have  very long necks. Different than the land turtles which most people have seen..
   These guys live right near my deck ,, and I know this is hard to believe but  the baby comes to me when it sees me out there   .... of course  I feed them ... left over cat nibbles, and bread..
   If I come across one on the road ... STOP  the car!!! get the towel, (always in the car for emergencies like turtle rescues. Land turtles too.  )  I then ask it  "where are you trying to go?"  and carry it to the other side..
