This girl was one of three that was crossing the road. She was the only survivor by the time John saw her, stopped, and brought her to the safety of the ponds at home. She either already had laid, or was ready to lay, her eggs. She moved very, very fast. John put her in Pond 3.

One of the closet shots I got of this turtle...he wasn't very camera shy.

This spotted turtle was found april 13th 2008 crossing the street in the king farm development in Rockville, Maryland

More of the nice shell pattern.

This was at the turtle sancuary. The picture is a little blurry but I love the pattern on their shells.

Friendly sea turtle swimming about in the Denmark's Aquarium.

The Florida box turtle is a subspecies of eastern box turtle (Terrapene carolina) that is endemic to Florida and a small portion of Georgia. It differs from the other subspecies of eastern box turtles in that its carapace has a pattern of bright radiating yellow stripes rather than blotches. I found this turtle near a trail in a state park after I heard a faint rustling sound. The turtle boxed up and only stuck its nose out slightly before I gave up waiting, and returned him to the undergrowth. He was clearly a male from the shape of his plastron, but I was not able to get a good look at his eye color. Males usually have red eyes.

A cute little guy, though. He wasn't as shy as most turtles I come across.
