WHY DID THE TURTLE CROSS THE ROAD?

in #photography • 5 years ago

Actually, she didn't. I picked her up on the way.

In the spring in the Ozarks the box turtles come out of hibernation and begin to move around once again. Often, you can see them trying to cross the road. Many never make it, and become victims of the automobile, but this one didn't make it for another reason.

This one was picked up and brought back to our property. I wanted to show it off to our children, and to release her here on our homestead. She was rather photogenic, as the photos below will verify. Enjoy!

            They loved it! They like most animals, and really enjoy checking them out.

            I can tell by the smile on her face! I love seeing children growing up in nature and exploring their surroundings. Turtles are by the way really cool animals!

                    Apart from being cute, do they perform a useful task around the estate?

                      Well, they do like to eat bugs, but other than that, we just like them. Oh, the turtle races are coming up too!

                      Is that as quick as watching paint dry?
