Sent earlier but did not appear. =A0 Today, around 2:30-3PM,on this 1st day of Spring, as I, and my Springer Spa= niel, 'Dash' took a leisurely 2 hour walk=A0on this glorious day, I saw som= ething odd looking, atop a rock, close to the island in Sullivan's Pond, th= at is nearest to Hawthorn St. As I did not have my binoculars, I didn't kno= w if it was a piece of wood, or what. The water level at the pond has recently been lowered, making it possible t= o go onto the island without getting my feet wet. So, leashed dog and I, made our way onto the island and ventured toward the= edge closest to 'that rock'. Astonishingly, it was a turtle, sunning itself! It is the first time that I have ever seen a turtle at Sullivan's Pond! I d= o know that they have been seen there over the years though. I had a good look at this turtle and when I got home, I=A0 consulted the bo= ok, 'Amphibians and Reptiles of Nova Scotia' written by John Gilpin, and it= appears that this turtle is an Eastern Painted Turtle. The fabulous weather, notwithstanding, this sighting 'made my day'! =A0 Gayle MacLean Dartmouth=0A=0A=0A ___________________________________________________= _______________=0ALooking for the perfect gift?
