I had a meeting at the property this morning with a friend after he left I went for a walk to see what I could find...We had almost 3 inches of rain the other day and I wanted to see what the creek looked like...
But before I even got to the creek I got distracted, as always!!
A few of Michael's succulents are starting to bloom...
I can't wait to see what the blooms will look like...
We had Fritillary butterflies all over down there...so pretty!
A type of Robber fly possibly...looks like a bee but it is not.
Then I found two turtles...This one was playing shy.
This one wasn't and posed for me...
Red-eared sliders
Our not suppose to be dry creek had a puddle. I am thankful for the 3 inches but we honestly need more rain...
White-topped sedge
It amazes me at how fast turtles can move...This one seems to have gotten itself in a predicament, but not for long...and poof they were gone!
Pipe-vine swallowtail caterpillar.
Michael's little garden has really taken off. He has added new items. He wants to put a stream through it but I am trying to talk him out of that...most of the plants are succulents and don't need that much moisture.
Prickly Pear cacti bloom.
Other than the wind it was a beautiful day, lots of sunshine!

Lots of pretty pictures here. Your Redsliders are much cleaner then mine. lol
These turtles probably wish they had your tank/pond to swim in...They only have a few large puddles in the creek. There is a lot of dead turtles up and down the creek. So sad...
