Description

... in a Fish Pond at one of the "Mandarin" Restaurants in Toronto.

I think the little turtle wanted to get away from all of the big goldfish swarming around him!

Happy Saturday everyone!!!!! :)

A Turtle Poem For You Sister:

There was a little turtle that lived in a box,
He swam in the puddles and climbed on the rocks.
He snapped at a minnow he snapped at a flea,
He snapped at a mosquito and he snapped at me.

He CAUGHT the minnow and he CAUGHT the flea,
He CAUGHT the mosquito but he DIDN'T catch ME!

:D

HAPPY SATURDAY TO YOU TOO!!! xo Fun Image!! #10134753

Loaded question! :D It all started back at this thread in the long ago :

http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/dynoGallDetail.php?photoID=9536704

Mary Robison started calling me Pomegranate one day and then Pom for short...You can read it all here. Pretty neat really. On a fluke it had a freaky tie in with this image when Ron called me Aphrodite! You'll see! HeeHee...(And the rest is history!)

Hey- I have some in my fridge right now too! I just bought it. They make it in a tiny sized bottle now, not just the big one! :) !! It's such a healthy alternative to soda pop!!! #10136184

Lorna Shutter May 14, 2012

I get it now, Sis ... I was confused because I always thought that POM was your nickname for Mary (not the other way around)! Did you notice that you said Aphrodite was originally an "old Asian" godess? That must be how we are twins! LOL! :D

I agree with you about the POM juice ... drinking it has so many benefits! Too bad it costs so much more, but I guess it's worth it though if you want to stay healthy! :) #10136339

Laura E. Swan level-classic May 18, 2012

I have no doubt that we are both Asian. :) I hadn't noticed reading that but it would just go without saying. What I am truly concerned about it that turtles eat tadpoles. That is disturbing to me. Does it give you the ebbie geebies too?

CHOMP!

Mary coined that nick name. I think it had something to do with an image I entered of half of a pomegranate cut open. AND ALSO W.C.FIELDS.

Remember him? He had a big red bulbous nose and played the piano tipping his had and always said stuff like, "Hello my little chickadee, oh yes you, my little pomegranate!" Lol... #10141711

;) xo (I was going to throw in a picture of W.C. Fields, but my Photobucket Search Engine isn't working!) #10141850
