A Turned Turtle

This photo was taken last summer in the Vorlon wife’s flower garden. It is a New Jersey Box Turtle. How he got there, I don’t know. We live inside the city.

I was a little late on the picture. When the Vorlon wife first saw him, he had pink Impatience flower on his face. It seems he was eating the Vorlon wife’s impatience. However, by the time I got the camera out and made to the flowerbed, he was making his get-away (Ed – what do you mean he? How do you know it’s a he?).

You can see how his coloration blends magnificently with the vegetation.

Am enjoying your pictures. Fascinating.
How do you know the turtle was eating the impatience? Some of the petals could have fallen on him when he brushed by.

Was he moving at Warp speed?

Actually, he/she was stationary.
