at a loss for words...



but
feel free to add some for me
~
i know most of you are witty enough to add captions to at least one of these photos



a few weeks ago i was at the zoo and throughout the area of the park i was in, you could hear this low
moaning noise. it was similar to the sound that bears make, so i didn't really pay much attention to it.
after all, i was at the zoo. 
but all of a sudden, people started gathering around the tortoises. of course, with me being the curious thing i am, i had to walk over and see what was happening.
this is what was happening.
~
i'm guessing by spring we'll have baby tortoises. just a guess.

thank you everyone, for the amazing well wishes and prayers and good thoughts and happy ju ju you sent my way. it worked. i'm actually feeling pretty darn good.
to say you're all the best is an understatement. you're more then the best
and
i can't thank you enough for "being there" for me

Oh my, PDA in public! What a sight to see!

So happy you're on the mend and feeling good!

I am incredibly un-witty when it comes to caption creating! and I might just have to add that your affinity for posting pictures of mating zoo animals (yes, I remember the lions) might be somewhat disturbing if I didn't know that I would be doing the same thing if I had a blog :)

PaperPumpkin said...

No captions, but instead a real big hug and an apology for missing the post about a surgery. Oh! Now I am sending triple the prayers, beth. Feel better. Be good to yourself. ...and no matter how hot I am, I always have to have a sheet on, too. No boogie men can get me when I have my sheet on. I guess it's like our Superman cape, huh? Thinking of you. Hugs, kath

Hmmm....Let's see. You could say, and to be totally G-rated:

"I GOT DIBS ON TOP BUNK!"

Vicky said...

Well I had to go and catch up and here you are just a few days later! I hope your discomfort is minimal and the need for pain meds is too and hence as little vomit as possible :)

I am counting on one of your amazing blog peeps to provide the caption and give us all the laughs!

Auntie Bliss said...

I captured a similar shocking photo years ago in Barbados LOL...the whole thing doesn't even look remotely possible, does it? And the male's long head and neck..is ...??? ;)
I think he is just trying to get her "out of her shell"

Not now Dear! The Humans Are Watching!

d smith kaich jones said...

lol! my mom had/has a yard full of turtles or tortoises or whatever or both and they are sexy thangs! :) her yard man once mowed a big circle around a "romancing" couple, not wanting to disturb their interlude. and of course, my niece, at age 4 or so, stumbled upon a couple also so involved. the best part was when they were finished & the male would fall backwards, laying there on his back for quite a while. any human females witness to his exhaustion would just laugh & laugh. men? not so much. they would laugh, but always help him over.

SO glad you are better!!!
xoxo

So glad you're doing ok after your surgery. I'd been thinking about you. I remember seeing torquoises doing their thing when I was on an excursion in the Seychelles. Made for some interesting viewing and the noise they make is really strange.

Leslie said...

hahahaha! thanks for the laughs :)

Barbara said...

I think you captured it with "Babies by Spring"!!

dcpeg said...

"Get OFF me, you big lug! No piggy-back rides until you brush your teeth! Phew! Your breath could kill a horse!"

Lame, but there's my attempt at a caption. Hope your recovery is surprisingly easy and QUICK!!

Stacey Dawn said...

I thought it was a statue at first! hahahahahaha - wow - um, good shots.

ds said...

"Why don't we do it in the road?"

Seriously, I am glad that you are feeling better after your surgery and hope your recovery continues apace (sounds from earlier posts as though you have a great nurse!). Will keep you in my thoughts...

Elena said...

"Stanley! I TOLD you not to eat ALL the nachos before we played leap frog. Get off me!"

and Stanley's face says it all
"Nag, Nag, Nag!"

Samantha said...

There are just NO captions needed for turtle porn!
bwahahahaha!

Gail Dixon (Louisiana Belle) said...

LOL! I can think of some captions, but they're not very...um...nope...can't do it. :) This is a great series of shots. The only act I manage to see at the zoo is pooping.

So glad you are feeling better!

Jeanie said...

This is great -- don't you love it when you find things like this? You were in the right place at the right time!

Glad things are going well. Keep it up -- I'll keep up the thoughts and prayers.

CherryPie said...

Nature in action or true love? :-)

Maybe both ;-)

Barb said...

Just look at her long-suffering eyes - that says it all!

mrs mediocrity said...

Country Girl said...

Caroline said...

LOL...no words is right! Glad you are getting better! xo

RNSANE said...

Hysterical picture...it must be a bit hard to manage reproduction with that shell in the way!

Glad you're on the mend, Beth!

TechnoBabe said...

"What did I tell you about PDA, Bert?"

So glad you are feeling better. Heal. Be healthy.

Karen said...

Glad to hear you are on the mend :-)

That has to be a male tortoist (sp?) as they alays manage to overpower and bark orders. Not mine though. Great photo.
