1994. Trans America Bicycle trail. If I had the money and time I'd do it again without thinking twice. 3 months on a bicycle, self contained.

Indotestudo elongata (elongated tortoise/yellow-headed tortoise, Gelbkopfschildkroete, черепаха пoдoвжeна, żółw podługowaty). This species of tortoise has an oblong shape, with a tan colored shell adorned with black spots, or irregular blotches. Its head is moderate with a pair of large praefrontal shields, usually followed by a nearly equally large frontal shield. Occurrence: The elongated tortoise is a medium sized tortoise found in the rainforests of Southeast Asia, and parts of South Asia (India, Nepal, Mizoram, Bangladesh, Burma, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Western Malaysia, and Southern China). Habitat: I. elongata typically occurs in teak forests where the humidity is high, although it is also found in hot dry conditions. Food: This tortoise regularly takes slugs, and worms in addition to green leafy material, fruits, and vegetables. In the wild, fallen fruits are believed to comprise a high proportion of its diet. The average lifespan is 40 to 50 years.

One of our beloved slow moving motors broke a tooth, so we opened it up to see if it was repairable. Here's what we found inside.
Apologies in advance to anyone who may not like seeing this dead snapping turtle run over by a motorist and left to rot along the roadside. I discovered it by accident while photographing other wildlife from a view along the roadside at the Orland Park Nature Center.
I felt saddened to see this wonderful snapping turtle's life ended by a motorist having run over it, which cracked the entire shell right down the middle. To add further "insult to injury.," someone tossed a plastic bottle out from their car window, which landed right next to the dead turtle.
As of July 29, 2023, the remains are still in the same spot.

Many thanks to everyone for your views, faves and supportive comments. These are always very much appreciated.
The taxonomy of these specimens is unclear, within this pettrade import quite some orange colored specimens (close to P.longliensis) were present.
Paramesotritons are Asian newt who live in slowmoving parts of streams. Paramesotriton are also called Warty newts for quite obvious reasons. The display a quite territorial behavior and may possibly have been derived from an adaptation to poor food availability in their habitat. During the reproduction period, which for most Paramesotriton species situates itself in the fall , the males develop white coloration on their tails. At that period their territoriality and stress level is at it's top level.

The north Washington coast is full of potential as far as photography goes. Moving about eroded sea stacks is the kind of activity I really enjoy. This particular small cave was available with a low tide and I had not seen it while on a previous visit, so it was a nice surprise. This was one of my favorite efforts from our recent trip. The light was simple and the shadow play sort of cool.
Thanks for having a view all!

Many of these around the Zeelandbrug. Sometimes they scare the heebeejeebies out of me when I haven't seen them and they dash away in front of me from their resting spots. They like to lie in pockets of slowmoving waters taking rests. Very popular to fish on and they fetch a good price. These are about 50cm in length and beefy healthy.

A series of trains, marketed to tourists, run from New Hope to Ivyland, PA. They move slowly, so that passengers can enjoy scenery, wine and cheese, and/or dinners that come with their package.
I treated this shot in Paint.Net, using an oil paint application. The train's driver/operator/engineer (I don't know his title) is gazing out the window as the train arrives at the station.
