This is the third part of a four part extended visual poem of photos taken on my walk this past Monday, June 4 on the Leon Creek Greenway. The series began Monday with Prelude. The second part was The Song of the Green Herons. If all goes as planned, the fourth part, The Song of the Butterflies, will be published on Tuesday, June 12.
Today is The Song of the Turtles:
I might point out, most of these photos were taken around the ox bow pond on Leon Creek not far south of Babcock Rd. It is good to see the pond at bank full with all the rain we have had this year.
The turtles are red-eared sliders, by far the most common turtle native to Bexar County. Also, thanks to a very cooperative and photogenic golden-fronted woodpecker, I consider naming this section The Song of the Woodpecker, but the turtles won out.
