Morning Greeting

On my walk, early this morning, I was greeted by this huge turtle.

He stood still and watched me. I could get up close to take a look at him, and he looked old…maybe he was thinking the same thing about me!

His shell looked soft and scarred. I don’t know what kind of turtle he is, but he was big…at least the size of a basketball.

Up ahead I saw something on the path.

On my way home I circled back to see if he was still there, but there was no sign of him at all…not even a path through the grass to the pond.

Happy day, Mr. Turtle.

  1. Oh, wow, a turtle this size seems like it may be a domesticated one set free. We once had a tortoise, even larger than this turtle, lumber across Willow Street and into our yard. It belonged to a neighbor.

    1. That’s interesting…maybe it’s the same with this guy. Maybe the owner found him and took him away and that would be why I didn’t see any tracks…

  2. I hope he was found!! He looked like he’d been through a lot of life. I get it Mr. Turtle!!

    1. It’s in our neighborhood there is a trail around three ponds.He was at Pond 1.
