One of the kids said they saw a turtle on the driveway this week so I said “take some pictures!” It was a simple box turtle. It didn’t stay around very long before heading off into the bushes. I guess it didn’t want me to take pictures!

    "Too Cute"! I love turtles and there is nothing at all simple about him, I find him QUITE HANDSOME... It's amazing how quickly they disappear when you turn your back...
    Have a fun week,
    Hugs,

    I use to see turtles around a lot, but guess building of new homes/businesses has run most of them off. Thanks for hosting again this week. My entry is a combination of outside and inside - hope that is ok.
    Enjoy your evening.

    Oh, how cool! I live near a creek but I never see any turtles. Just lots of geese and ducks. Funny how he ended up on your driveway. Must've been lost!

    I love turtles too, and especially box turtles. You can count on them around here and I like the patterns on their shells.

    It seems that the turtle did a good job posing for the camera before he disappeared.
