Turtle Crossing

Just a quick posting to let you know I saw a box turtle on the road Sunday morning...alive and well...attempting to cross from one side to the other. Had it not been raining and had I not been in a hurry to get somewhere, I would have stopped to help him/her across the road. I didn't...and I justify that decision by saying it's all about survival of the fittest. If that turtle was smart enough and meant to live, he would have made it across the street intact...which it seems he did because I have not seen any squished turtles. Of course, I say this - about survival of the fittest - and then realize that I am providing artificial means/sources of food for birds, chipmunks, and squirrels everyday! Quite the conundrum!!!

Until next time, keep your eye open for wild wonders...

...and stop to help that turtle across the street if you see one...I will next time!
