Bobbers Glory

There was an old wooden sign nailed to a post on the

dock. It said Bobbers Glory. Underneath it said

Snapping Turtle. As I sat there painting this scene I was

thinking that Bobber probably was a myth. After about

an hour I noticed this huge mass of moss and seaweed

floating up from the bottom. As it got closer I realized that

Bobber was no myth. This was the largest Snapping Turtle

I had ever seen. At least 2 ft. from nose to tail. A turtle this

size could easily take a mans hand off at the wrist if you

got to close. I had an apple core and tossed it in the

water in front of his nose. In a split second he had slashed

the apple into shreds. That was not what he wanted.

He was staring at me. Don't go near the water!
