I found this turtle crossing the road. I stopped to move it to the side but saw that it was headed to woods that were being logged so I brought it home and put it at the edge of the swamp bordering our land. It's State land and the same kind of habitat. I hope the move works for this beautiful creature.

Turtles are reptiles most of whose body is shielded by a special bony or cartilaginous shell developed from their ribs. The earliest known turtles date from 215 million years ago, making turtles one of the oldest reptile groups and there are about 300 species alive today.

A quiet inlet where you can sit and listen to the cicadas and watch the fireflies on a summer evening. Enjoy a boat ride or drop a pole in the water and try your luck. Bring a camera, a friend or someone special and enjoy this serene, picturesque little cove and keep an eye out for the turtles.

Attempting to lay eggs in the trail?

I encountered this one at Morikami Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach, Florida, the other day. This is the closest I have ever gotten to one of these creatures.

Found by my boy on our Sunday bike ride.
