Painted Window Shutters and Baby Snapping Turtle

There is always something interesting in my life. Every day it seems. Most of them simple.  A week or so ago, (probably more like 2) I hired Matthew Anzalone to paint a section of our house above the front porch. I was going to rent a lift and do it but he owns a lift and it wasn't too much more to have him do the job. He scraped, caulked, primed and painted it for $1,200. I removed the window shutters and painted those. I used rustoleum oil based paint. This afternoon I got on porch roof and put the shutters back on. While up there I spotted a small snapping turtle walking down the sidewalk. Well, I needed to "snap" a picture of him. So I present it here.
