in a field of green
a pond slider lays its eggs
then goes on her way 🦊❤️
Today I saw a Pond Slider Turtle laying its eggs in a grassy field. After laying the eggs the turtle leaves the eggs and never returns. If the eggs hatch, the babies are totally on their own to make their way into the world. As I looked at the large mother turtle I was struck with just what a courageous and miraculous journey of survival she has made on her own. 🦊❤️
