That ought to get the befuddled and creepy stopping by in droves from Google, don’t you think?* But it’s an appropriate if luridly metaphorical title for a post consisting of a link to jason’s completely work-safe and ethically sound post on a visit to the family farm.

* Dear befuddled and creepy: seek professional help. Thank you.

   Ow, ow, I keep falling down from looking at those pictures, getting up and looking again, falling down again.

   That’s just CRAZY cuteness.

   That’s the cutest thing I’ve seen all day and I’ve visited Cute Overload twice today (some days you need kittens. And baby turtles too.)

   very cute.  [for the box turtle, i can’t really judge scale by a lettuce leaf.  but i’m assuming the author meant, this bitty one was nearly as bitty as the others.]

   For the bionerds out there, that’s a hatchling river cooter (Pseudemys concinna), and not slimy at all. Cute, yes. My guess is it was on its way from nest to water.

   Aw man!  No fair.  I came in search of explicit photos of adolescent reptiles engaged in shocking activities, and this is all I find?  What’s that about?

   (Thanks for the link love, Chris.  I’m glad you enjoyed the photos.)
