Saturday before memorial day I got the turtle 'floats' back out in the pond. It was steamy and over 90 all weekend so it felt good to wade around deploying them. I'm a little late this year and the turtles were anxious to get back on these safe havens. Used to have 10-12 painted turtles but only 3 little ones this year. I have one 4x4 float topped in green grass carpet in the SE and one in the NW corner so the turtles can take their pick on which one is sunny as the sun goes across the sky.

Not pond related, but saw this neat news article and video about the power of a deer who is determined to get to something. This is in the local workout facility caught on their security camera. The slow-mo part is amazing!
