Wood Turtle Crossing the Road
It seems to be my destiny lately to see a lot of
turtles. Usually it is Snapping Turtles but this morning I encountered a
Wood Turtle crossing the Mast Road at Three Tree Creek!
The legs and neck casing of the Wood turtle is patterned with red, rather pretty I think!
The shell of the Wood turtle is patterned in whorled ridges and splashes of yellow!
A slight view of the underneath of this turtle can be seen in this sideways view above.
Very pretty. So dangerous for them though, crossing that road. I hate to think of the many that didn't make it.
