One Word Photo Challenge: Golden Turtle
Our Eastern Box turtles have remained in the garden this week.
This one was enjoying the cool shade of our butterfly garden, and its mate was nearby in some tall grass.
I found them while watering, weeding and trimming earlier today, a golden opportunity to enjoy the wild creatures who live here with us.
Bits of dirt from my weeding landed on this poor fellow’s shell. I heard him moving at my feet, and managed to take his photo, and move out of the bed, without causing him any further disturbance.
