MASSIVE Snapping Turtle at Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. It is the greatest gift to walk with nature every morning. I don’t say that to be poetic. I say that to be real. Get yourself outdoors. There’s nothing for perspective, but when it caught my eye I thought it was a barrel. His carapace was at least 18 inches/45 cm and his head was the size of a man’s fist. Absolutely prehistoric. | Chef Virginia Willis
