May on the Trail

Today, we had an amazing walk.  The weather has been warm and their is a bit of humidity in the air.  I did not have my camera "of course".  I noticed a Piliated woodpecker flying overhead and land on one of the large pine trees, then I noticed a second piliated woodpecker.  As I walked further along, I heard another one call out.  This was all along the Virginia Capital trail portion along the Greensprings wetlands area.  Further down the trail there was a tiny turtle about 4 inches across making an attempt to climp up the hill coming out of the water area.  That turtle must have thought he was climbing the Mt. Everest when you compare the size of the hill to the turtle.  He had obviously been working hard, so we left him alone and continued along our journey.
