My husband was mowing the lawn today and came across this cute little turtle in our yard. The fence around our yard was preventing him from escaping. So, we had to show him the way out by lifting him over the fence and putting him on the other side. If you know what kind of turtle it is, please leave it in the comments. Of course, I had to take some photos, but my pregnant belly prevented my from being able to get down on the ground for some direct head on shots. He was actually pretty fast, too! So, I had to stay on my feet. Below is my favorite photo of the little guy. Here are some more photos.

UPDATE: Someone has informed me that this is a box turtle.

This week I photographed a fund raiser event for the Oldies But Goodies Cocker Spaniel Rescue at the Cosi in Arlington. Most of the guests were foster parents for dogs. So, they brought their dogs along as well. It was a fun time! Below is my favorite photo from the event. You can view all the photos here.
