Walking

Yesterday we went out to the J B Starkey Park to do our walking. Saw these small buds on a pine tree. Don't know what they are?  Maybe someone will tell me.

A bunch of these small yellow finches(?) were flying all over the place.

We also saw 3 of these gopher turtles on the trail. I see these turtles all the time and yet I read the other day where they  are on the indangered species list of animals. They are 10 to 12 inches across the shell. This one was eating the grass.
