Turtles Rock !

The turtles all looking in the same direction is a good thing!

This photo was actually taken last year at about this time. Haven't seen any turtles so far this spring, probably because it's a lot, lot colder. The one other standout about last year and the reason I decided to post this is that we have just had the first anniversary of the giant earthquake that struck the north of Japan on March 11th 2011. It was a terrible time and for the people living in that area, still is. The aftershocks continued for many months after the event, and recently they have started up again, several in the last few days of increasing intensity. There is an old tale that says that the world was created on the back of 6 turtles and that earthquakes happen when they disagree and move in different directions. I would be really happy to see them all in agreement again................
