I should go get some photographs of the Ouchita map turtles that are found further south in the Scioto River. They are pretty cool creatures.<BR/><BR/>TomTom Arbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01919759721690261620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21247637.post-1859174687519644082008-05-12T07:29:00.000-04:002008-05-12T07:29:00.000-04:00Well, looks like I failed the turtle quiz!

Pretty cool, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>Guy- Thank you! Actually, I don't see this species much in N.E. Ohio, it was one that I recently learned upon moving to our current home.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Tom. Hope you enjoyed your time in the Buckeye State!<BR/><BR/>Troy- THanks, I'll have to check that out.<BR/><BR/>Mom- You are welcome, happy mother's day!<BR/><BR/>TomTom Arbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01919759721690261620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21247637.post-92067661699381682042008-05-11T17:56:00.000-04:002008-05-11T17:56:00.000-04:00Thanks for the beautiful mother's day picture and ...Thanks for the beautiful mother's day picture and kind words. I don't know what the flower is, but it's beautiful! I am so glad that you continue to find beauty in the natural surroundings around you that you have appreciated since you were a little boy, and that now you can share your knowledge with so many others through your blog! Your Grandma Thomas would be so proud, too. (She's reading this from Heaven, I know!)
