Turtle Basking in the Sun on Golf Course!

Another great day for golf in California! This turtle was crossing the fairway on one of the holes. I helped him along to keep him out of harms way.

Dang pin placements on the par 3's!

Is that better than finding this mole who has been tearing up my yard dead in the pool? He’s not a handsome guy.

Nope not on canal.

It was either emerald place or commanders palace. Or one of the places in French quarter. It’s tough to remember things I do when I’m there

Lol

Looks like an alligator snapping turtle. Those guys are not friendly.

This kind of basking is more my speed. Not that the reptiles aren’t delicious.

I caught this guy crossing the road and released him into my lake, I've rescued quite a few of them. always crushes me inside when I see them hit on the road because people can't take a few seconds to stop and help them across or take them to a safe place.

He wasn't too thrilled about getting his picture taken, he had bluegills to eat!

I have old school photos somewhere, I was playing in far north QLD and while my mate and I were chipping up onto the green, we had to stop as a red belly black snake crossed the green (one of the deadliest snakes alive). The greenkeeper came up while we were there and when we mentioned it, he said wait till you see the 15 foot saltwater crocodile in the middle of the fairway to holes ahead. He was not kidding it was big, we gave him a wide birth.
