The Trailside Center [site] at the Watchung Reservation is basically a little museum. But pretty much everything is behind glass, which doesn’t make for good photos.
Except for the (live) turtles!
The turtle habitat, shown above, is surrounded by (dead) taxidermied turtle predators— a fox, a raccoon, a heron. It’s a little morbid.
I took about a zillion cute turtle photos, and I love them all, but for the sake of not overloading the web on turtle cuteness, here’s just ooooone more shot of a red-eared slider.
