Saturday, they let me leave work a little early. I still stayed to do a few things, and I'm glad I did.
As I was about to turn into my subdivision, I saw something in our busy road. I looked and there was a pretty good sized box turtle trying to cross. There's usually roadkill around here as we are adjacent to a state park, loaded with wildlife, and he wasn't even the first turtle I've seen around here. I cringed as I watched a few cars drive and not hit him - but it was close, and he was not deterred at all in his goal.
I pulled over and picked him up and carried him across the busy street. He didn't seem to mind the little pick me up.
He was about the size of a Nintendo DS, but his shell was quite tall. I know he was a male because he had gorgeous red forelegs. Keep on trucking, my shelled friend!
