We have so many little lakes and ponds literally right in our backyard. We are so lucky too. We are always discovering new things. The other day, when we went on a longer walk, out in the open space, we found a lone cormorant and his turtle buddy out on a little island in the middle of one of these lakes. I think these two have the right idea. It’s my island, and only those whom I invite can join me. They looked like they were thoroughly enjoying themselves on their own little private island – Cormorant Island.
Cormorant Island is in the center of the lake.




After awhile, the turtle left and it was just the cormorant on his own private island. He was loving every minute of it.

We had never noticed this before, but the little island actually was rotating too.


Sometimes we all need our own little private islands, either to share with friends or just to keep for ourselves. It helps keep the crazies out.
