Mom and Baby Turtle at Glenview pond.

Mom was urging baby to jump off the rock, I think to escape me. Eventually she pushed the little one off the rock and into the water.

Thanks for the description. I thought she's pinning the youngster down on the rock.

I thought she was too! Little one wanted to go swimming and Mom wanted him to wait an hour after eating.

It's because we don't get up and out at dawn, Kathie!

That's the cutest picture. It's amazing that even momma turtles have strong maternal instincts and try to protect their babies!

K, you are so funny!
At that time of the morning, you are coming home exhausted after a night of dancing!
