Turtle

Click on the photo to see it at its best.

Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, May 12, 2024
A Spiny Softshell Turtle, Apalone spinifera.
Those dark spots on the front edge of its shell are pointed, thus its spiny name.

Have a wonderful weekend!

I am linking in today with Saturday's Critters

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

"Know ye that the Lord he is God; it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful unto Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endures to all generations" Psalm 100:3-5
