Rules for the prompt!

Welcome to the 6-minute challenge!

Today’s prompt is:

Ryan Sims/Comedy Wildlife 2022

A row of turtles giving convenient help to a duckling

*************************************************************

This is a 6 minute rough draft for the photo prompt.

The duckling struggled in the water as this was the first time it had been in the water since its birth just a few days ago. Its mother and father were training it to be at home on the water. They watched as their duckling struggled to swim. 

The duckling spotted a log not far away, and on the log was a whole row of turtles sitting shell to shell. The duckling paddled over to the log, stepped gingerly on the first turtle, and walked down the row from one to the other until it reached the end and flopped back into the water. The parents simply watched their baby and then went over to lead it back to the shore.

Published by Tessa

My name is Tessa Dean and I am an author and blogger. My writing styles vary and I love writing using prompts. I am also writing my first book, a Memoir entitled "Government Property - A Memoir of a Military Wife".  This is being published on the blog rather than the traditional way. I am putting up chapters as I go along. I keep my blog filled with useful content, stories, and poems. Plenty to keep you busy. I have also been interviewed by blogs and had other posts published on many different blogs. I also wrote a series of articles on Bipolar Disorder for IBPF (International Bipolar Foundation). I am in my 60’s and disabled which allows me plenty of time to write to my heart’s content. I live in southern New Jersey and have 3 children and 5 grandchildren. My oldest grandchild is a Sargent in the United States Marine Corps.

    1. Thank you! We have geese here with babies and so that struck me, plus I used to live on a lake and all the logs were covered with turtles just like that. It brought mack some memories.
