Bales of all kinds

Funny how the world works. I had taken a picture while kayaking last week of some turtles on a log. I wondered what you call a group of turtles so I looked it up and a group of turtles is called a bale. I never got around to writing my blog about it then today Laura puts up her weekly Zentangle Challenge and it is to create a tile using the pattern "bales". How about that!

So here's my challenge entry, a bale of turtles in bales and on bales:

And here are my bale of turtles on a log:



I love having fun like this. Quirky things make me happy.

    This is very clever and quite appealing. And I learned something new about turtles. Who knew?

    I love when separate parts of your life intersect this way! Thanks for the information on turtles, I never knew that. Your tile is beautiful and it will remind you of your beautiful spring day in the kayak! Nature is awesome.

    What a clever idea! And here I have been calling them a herd of turtles when we encounter them on the golf course. Thanks! I will impress all with my new found knowledge.
