June 7: The Turtles Strike Back!

The fight to dominate the Lost Lagoon Sunning Log is joined! Yesterday, the turtles struck back by crowding it with a record-setting six occupiers, handily outnumbering the two ducks that showed up to dispute the territory. Note that the turtles brought a kid, clearly gearing up for a multi-generational struggle. And turtles live for 100 years, too.

I promised you another picture of the cactus flowers, because the other one's flowers were two-tone: cream and pink. The shot was a little blurred, but I think with some downsizing, it works.
