Swamp Turtle Heads

Marthas's Vineyard

Been a long time between visits, and the weather is beyond perfect. Dad's been working really hard and the lawns and brush looks well tended; Mom's got these plants looking for a home, will probably end up at the Gadget since they thrive in damp watery areas.
