turtle rescue

We found a snapping turtle in the yard after dinner last night.  We find at least one turtle in our yard every summer- the last two have been snapping turtles.

This guy was pretty big and had moss growing all over his back. 

Even if you've done it before, you never really get used to picking up a snapper.   The hubby was a total rock star though...He didn't even flinch when Tortoise-Rex snapped at him.

Into the wheelbarrow and off to the creek...

I don't think he liked the bumpy ride too much :)
