Turtle with a bug on its nose at Jamaica Pond

A couple of turtles were lazing on a log at the northern end of Jamaica Pond, soaking up the sun, when a dragonfly landed on one of them. That put a quick end to snooze time - the turtle jumped into the water.

Like a second after I took the photo, the turtle jumped into the water (and truth be told: I didn't even notice the dragonfly until I called up the photo on my computer).

Nice, Adam. I was looking for something along those lines.

Will somebody be writing a folksong about this? About right minutes long, at least.

it will need some pre-Christian imagery and allusions, as well as at least one violent death.
