Sunday Still's : Eyes

C D B D iiiii's ????
M R iiiii's !!! O S M R Turtle iiiii's.
The Sunday Stills Challenge this week was eyes! I had the most fun, looking for and at different kinds of eyes. I found this Snapping Turtle along the road on Wednesday May 13, 2009. Yes, Minnesota lakes, do have snapping turtles in them..just look at those claws..but they are tiny compared to his snapping qualities..nothing you ever want to see up close and personal:)

  21. You should get a bouquet for the most original eyes. Very interesting. Your fingers ever been snapped?

    Thanks for visiting my site. The big sister was my older girl, and I love the photo. I stayed ten days in the hospital, and seeing her walk to the car with my husband melted my heart. I was still getting used to having a second child.
