Knock, knock, knock... who's at the door?

Every summer gets here a bit hotter than the one before. Creatures living in the hills cannot find any water and descend to the town. Three times now we have found one or two turtles at our garden gate. Do they feel that in this house two animal lovers live? Do they communicate with the dogs in the yard who tell them this is the best place in town?




It must be something like that, because this little one has been here three times, waiting for us to come home.


We give him/her a dish of water and letucce.


It drinks and eats, and than desappears again, surprisingly swift, till the next visit...

    I wish I had visitors like this turtle, but I only have spiders and grashoppers! :-)

    Hehe
    it's the same at my parent's place, there is a small river at the back of the garden, and turtles sometimes come from there to the house :-)
    Frogs too ;o)

    At the little pond near my house people abandon turtles who have grown too much and perhaps start to bite..so if you look at the water you can see their little head poking out..but as soon as you get too close, they hide..they didn't have good experience with humans..So sad!
