Look Who I Met On The Road

Around Home, Texas Canyon, Dragoon, Ariz

These Ornate Box Turtles come out into sight every year during Arizona's Monsoon.
I love to come across them, which is usually on our dirt roads.

Nice catch, Carol ... good thing you used a high shutter speed to capture him as he hurries home for lunch.

Excellent capture, Carol. This guy has character! \/
Neal Nye25-Aug-2010 11:19
You got some wonderful shots of him. A good thing his strong point is not high speed escapes.

Neat find on your desert road. I will no longer think of a desert road as being deserted!
