feels like spring

My sweet Jonah and I went for a picnic Saturday. The weather is finally beautiful again in England, and as we explored the depths of Wimbledon Common, we happened upon this hidden pond.

I like to call it the "secret pond", but apparently other people knew it was there, or there were a decent number of folks who were just as lucky as we were in their exploration of the area.

It was great fun watching these dogs tag-team paddle this log back to shore, and made me wish I had a pooch of my very own.

From our picnic spot, we noticed the turtles that were hiding in the water earlier had finally come out to play, so we went and had a little chat with one of them.

On closer inspection, it appears that they were looking after a bunch of frog babies.

When we finally managed to tear ourselves away from the pond, we headed off in another direction down this little path...

...and we actually managed to find our way back to civilization without any trouble. Sadly we never saw any Wombles, but there's always next time.
