Gilligan

Posted by Jen (Alpharetta, United States) on 2 July 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Found this turtle wandering around the house in Florida we rented back in April, the neighbor explained he was a gopher turtle. The kids named him (or her) Gilligan.

Thank you for all your support!

Nicely done, my girl!! (the highlights are a bit blown... sorry) Great framing on this old boy! Really love how the frame is filled with its head to the left of frame.

I'm back! I'm pooped, I'm sore, I'm sick of boxes and mess, I'm elated with the new place, ecstatic about being here, pumped for the new job.... and so glad to be able to visit everyone again. Will have a post for tomorrow.... will send an e-mail soon.. hugs.
