This afternoon, I noticed an unusual movement in the corner of my yard. Curiosity piqued, I walked over to find a water turtle slowly making its way across the grass. It seemed to have a purpose, and I decided to watch from a distance.
The turtle stopped at a patch of soil near the edge of the garden. With deliberate motions, it began to dig a hole with its hind legs. The process was slow and methodical, and I could see the effort it took for the turtle to create a nest. After some time, it began to lay eggs, carefully depositing each one into the hole. It was fascinating to witness such a natural and ancient act of life unfolding right in my yard.
