Smashing Pumpkins

**An unlikely suspect caught on camera**

I never would have guessed that a Tortoise could be a prankster by going out and taking pumpkins and smashing them - You just never know anymore :-) !!

Canon 100-400L IS at 130mm. ISO 250, Late Morning, 1/640 @ f8.0, EC -1/3 (No PhotoShop - The Zoo puts pumpkin treats out for some of the animals this time of the year)

  Did he try to eat it, too? We were surprised to find this summer that our box turtle loves Colorado peaches and corn. Maybe we should offer her some pumpkins, too. Great find, Jeff!

  Great capture, Jeff!! The title is classic-- I've heard of the band but don't know if I've heard any of their songs. If they're still around they would probably get a kick out of this...
