farewell little one..

I contemplated, then decided then felt a tinge of sadness.. I had to part with him...
It's been almost 2 years.. many things have changed..
Before I plucked up the courage to do what i had to do, I had to keep some memories with me.. got some snaps with canon.. and the journey to his big new home..
My little terrapin ....
His new home was a big pond, joined with kois' , a turtle, tadpoles and sun rays shot right into the water..
I tilted the pail he was transported.. he was afraid, took a few steps out.. took a little peep into the 'ocean' was overwhelmed and shot right back into the pail in reverse gear. Man, I felt like I was bringing a child to see the world..
After repeated attempts, I guess the fear slowly went away.. especially after peering all around, familiarising and making sure there were other friends around.. he took the 1st plunge ,
and the rest was history...
dived all 4 corners of the pond.. the exhilaration was immense..my feelings were indescribable..
I'm happy now ...that my little terrapin's got a brand new lease of life...
