Box Turtle in my backyard
Wednesday, March 8, 2017 - 10:15
While cleaning my backyard one afternoon, I bumped into this beautiful box turtle hiding under the leaves. First when I saw the leaves move, I got scared / excited that probably there is a snake there or something but then when I saw it's shell, things changed, for the better. I relocated it to a open space for a quick photoshoot and then released it in the woods near a marsh, which is where it belongs.
