Holes for eggs

I think this mother is looking to dig a hole for her eggs.


Tortoise are water turtles. I haven’t seen one this big. There were a few holes around the place, like she dug but gave up because she couldn't get deep enough. 

Lush vegetation, the hair on my body was triggered by plants, insects, and spider webs. Calm waters, no wind, hot and humid. 

Reading today about Thoreau I read about the summer of 1816: "a volcanic winter event caused by the massive 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora in April in the Dutch East Indies (known today as Indonesia). This eruption was the largest in at least 1,300 years (after the hypothesized eruption causing the volcanic winter of 536)"
