The Turtle and the Toonie

This evening my daughter came running into the house all excited because she’d found a turtle on the driveway. I ran out to see. She’d found this baby turtle.

But it’s hard to tell this is a baby turtle from the photo. So we figured we’d try including her shoes in the picture. Here they are, size 4 Crocs in all their well worn glory, and a baby turtle:

But even that’s not the greatest reference. So we thought we’d add in her hands. Here is the baby turtle with an 8-year-old’s hands for reference:

That’s pretty good. But we wondered if we could make another size comparison. And we think we came up with a brilliant idea. If you’re Canadian. Because here is the baby turtle beside our two dollar coin, or Twoonie:

Definitely a teeny tiny turtle when seen with a toonie. Cute or what??

After we were done taking its picture we let it continue on doing its turtle thing. We hope it grows up to be a big turtle.
