SNAPPING TURTLE has just emerged from hibernation. The foliage has grown over it and in the creation stories of the Lenape and Iroquois people, the Earth is created as soil is piled on the back of a great sea turtle that continues to grow until it is carrying the entire world. Many indigenous tribes in North America refer to the continent as Turtle Island to this day. . . .#inspiringothers #gratitude #feelgoodfriday #feelgood #feelgoodfridayboard #feelgoodfridaylist #feelgoodweekend #feelinggrateful #itsthelittlethings #feelgoodfridaysmt #lovelife #friends #feelgoodfridaysbk #focusonwhatyouhave #nature #naturephotography #naturelovers #love #wildlife #wildlifephotography #animals #wild #darwinning #charlesdarwin #beautiful #nature_brilliance #nature_perfection #naturegram #naturelover #naturelove (at Planet Earth) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-SdtV9g5d6/?igshid=1ejuczsysvb60
