Fear The Turtles: #1

So I accidentally started this project last summer (June '06) on my way to the Jersey Shore. At the Chesapeake Bay House rest stop, I noticed a statue that had an uncanny resemblance to this guy I had on my shirt (please forgive my knobby knees)...

Diamonds of the Chesapeake

Since then, I started to notice several of these little guys scattered about my neighborhood. I don't know why it took me song long to get curious about why there were so many of them, but it's really better late than never.

Stumbling upon the Official Website, I see that there are 50 terrapins spread throughout the state.

Let's see how many of them I can find.

Those are much cooler than the cows they have in Portland! We had Orcas here one year, now we have bears (on their hind legs).
