I loved your pond pics. Our little slider kept trying to escape so we
took him (or her) to a nearby lake and released him. We found him
tangled in the net on one attempt. He was in our pond for over a year.
He just showed up on his own one day. We never figured our how he got
through the net.

Thanks! Turtles are amazing little acrobats. I once found a 10" tortoise
half-way up a 6' chain link fence.
