Terhune Orchards, a lovely family-oriented farm in Princeton, NJ, held its annual Kite Day Festival this weekend. The barnyard animals seemed to be hosting the event, a horse, a pony, a small herd of sheep, a couple of geese, and two friendly, LUCKY meat goats.

I had my camera focused on the goose as he/she headed to the water. I must confess that it was not until I had the photo up on my computer screen that I realized that it had been these two turtles that lured him to the edge of the pond. Must have been their "come hither" look!
