I hope that turtle keeps safe. I wonder how old it is.
Cute turtle! Encountering the unusual is such a delight - unless it's venomous.
Hi Jacqui:
Yes, encountering venomous critters gives you pause for thought; I do like to see them, though. Dr. K not so much.
Hope all is well.

I'd never guess there were box turtles there. More surprises all the time!
Scott: I read that box turtles here in the desert spend 95% of their lives in burrows underground. Sounds a dreary existence to me.
