Three #turtle friends enjoying the sunlight. These guys are often seen clustered like this on the bank, or on a tufted grass “island” closer to the stream. Like our other hibernating friends, they have hidden themselves away for the winter by now. (Humans would be much further ahead right now if we “hibernated”, respecting one quarter of the year as a time for repair and reflection, rather than pushing ourselves toward endless growth.) #turtes #turtlesofmastadon #hibernation #wetlands #nature
