Pumpkin Day 2010


Spooky pumpkin carving



Day one of turtle shell preparation, making use of kitchen gear.



Do NOT put that on my face.


Perfecting the edges. The need to be perfect (because Carrig really cares)

Painting the shell. Take note of the computer in the background to assure proper scute patterns.


The colors aren't perfect, but close enough to reality to keep dad happy.


The final touches...


May we present you, Carrig the turtle.


Um guys, I can't really move with this thing on my back.


Guess the species? Eastern Painted Turtle.








MOOOOOM! Help! I think an eagle is coming.

The final steps to turtledom.

Note the open computer for species-specific accuracy. Who can guess the species?

Dinner!

I am eating like a king!

Sorry for the posting hiatus. Work and life has a nasty habit of getting in the way.
