Awake and Hungry

(click on the photo for a larger view)

In case you didn't know, turtles hibernate. How deep their hibernation depends on the climate and the turtle. Our big one, Simone, got up a few times during the winter, had a little snack and went back to sleep. The small one, Simon, slept straight through. The recent stretch of warm weather has woken them both and Simone is especially hungry. The picture shows her attacking a cherry tomato. On her plate is also some lettuce, grapes, strawberries, mushrooms and peaches. Simon better hurry or there won't be any left.

peace,

will
