I have told you about our desert tortoises, Norm, Tillie and T.R. here. It is finally cool enough to be out with my camera again. I was out photographing hummingbirds and look who decided to find me? 
We won't know if she/he is a she or a he until he/she is about 10 years old. Meanwhile, there is a lot of growing to do. Right now, he or she is about 2 inches long.
P.S. I want to thank those of you who responded to my letter post below by mailing me a real letter! What a delightful surprise!
Another P.S. My other blog a photo a day keeps the blues away will start again next Tuesday.
So THAT'S where you've been! I was just thinking this morning that I hadn't seen Barbara in awhile... New life in all its forms makes for an exciting post!
