A Walk in the Park

Today I finally took my very first walk in Cherokee Park.  It was just a brief exploration walk to find the closest trail head to my home.  But even a brief walk can be great if you keep your eyes open.  I saw five turtles sun bathing on logs in the creek.  One of them was a juvenile (so cute!).  If I had been walking a little faster, I would not have seen them.  It was great to see that wildlife can still survive in Louisville's garbage infested waters.  I do not know if they were indigenous or not; they could be former pets or descendents of pets, but they could have been local turtles, like the Painted Turtle.  Next time I will be sure to take a camera with me.
