elliot's release.

elliot, the little snapping turtle my friend susan rescued from the road back in september, got released back into the wild today after a relaxing warm winter indoors at our house. for his new home, i chose the pond in our back field which is nice and muddy and full of bugs and tadpoles.

godspeed, elliot.
