Turtle made by Me & my Niece

Until a few years ago we had a RES "Red-eared slider" turtle. When we received that RES turtle it's shell was about 4 inches in length and when we lost that RES turtle it's shell was about 10 inches in length. We used to search online to learn how to keep fresh water turtle as a pet and were doing as directed. All our family was enjoying it's company/presence in our home. It was a great attraction for children specially our niece who was then about 3 years old.

.

But, during that time, when I got ill I gave our RES turtle to someone for keeping it during my illness. That someone happily took our RES turtle from me but never returned it back to me. This made my niece very ANGRY and SAD.

.

Since that lose of our RES turtle my niece often remember and talk about that RES turtle and wonders how big that turtle would have become. A few days ago during one such session my niece came to me with her colorful playdoughs and asked me to make a turtle from her playdoughs. She also asked me a little sadly that why I gave away our turtle. I had no answer to her question but I with the help of my niece did made a colorful, little turtle.

.

This DIY was interesting and we both enjoyed doing it. This also made a past event memory fresh in my mind in which I did made something same with a cousin of my niece a few decades ago. I and my niece were making turtle together and I was telling story to her of how did we made a turtle a few years ago with her eldest cousin from her father's side.

Following are photos I took using my mobile, nokia c1-01, of that cute little turtle which I and my niece made together from playdoughs, in memory of our RES turtle, as I discussed above.

A corner of our Lawn - 201030Fr

A corner of our Lawn

.

Version: 201030Fr

Right from the beginning we had a coconut tree at a corner of the lawn of our home. Coconut tree grew into a healthy tree and used to give very healthy coconut fruits frequently. But a few years back it become sick and slowly, slowly diet. We were not able to save it. After that coconut tree had died we arranged some laborers to cut and remove it's remains from our lawn. That coconut tree was around 30 years old. The corner of our lawn, where once our beautiful and healthy coconut tree used to be standing, remained empty for some time. Meanwhile we kept planning what to plant in that place or how to utilize that space.

.

During same time we have had a good looking extra plant in a good looking pot in our veranda. I suggested to place that plant in the empty corner and so from then that empty looking area became not so empty for the time being. After some time my brother brought some artificial birds and our gardener placed them in front of the plant we had earlier placed in the corner of our lawn.

.

Combination of big leaved plant and two good looking artificial birds in front of it looked very good then and is still looking very good. Although that plant went through some bad times during summer 2020 of Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan but after that recovered.

.

Following are photos I took using my mobile, nokia c1-01, of the plant and two artificial birds standing in front of it I mentioned above.
