Turtle-Bird

I tried to keep Susannah to the shallows, but she kept splashing toward the deeper rush instead, so I hedged her in puddle-pools instead of taking pictures.



While Millie ventured in, Annie was a few yards away by a mini-waterfall. (Sorry, no pictures of the Waterfall Nixie. I was keeping Susannah from drowning, remember?)


Millie found and brought home a few fossil-rocks. Fossil rocks are easily distinguished from treasure rocks by the fossils imprinted on them. All the other rocks in the universe fall into the category of "treaure-rocks."


Usually, I don't take pictures of the girls crying. If they're hurt or sad, it seems cruel and strange to take a picture. If, however, Susannah is throwing a tantrum because I won't let her walk over the small cliff to fall in the crick we just left, I think one picture is permitted.
