We went kayaking on Boughton Pond this morning. It was a beautiful, quiet paddle and we spotted a painted turtle sunning itself on a log. We quietly glided up to it, inching closer and closer and expecting him to slide into the water at any moment. Owen was so quiet and we moved so slowly (and the turtle was so brave) that we were able to come within a foot of it! We could see its green, yellow and red markings, see it breathing in and out before it plunked into the pond. It bobbed up to look at us a few times before we paddled away. Owen named it Rhino Turtle.
