Went for a hike today and found a friend
Just a short hike through the woods, and I almost stumbled on this little guy. We exchanged head nods, and I went on my way.

Eastern box turtle! :)
I love box turtles
This isn't dull! [email protected] would love this!
Wow! What a cutie! How did you spot it?
I literally almost stumbled over him. I stopped for a breather, looked down at my foot, and he was right beside it.
Wow! Thats incredible! I love moments like that, where you connect, briefly, with a consciosness whose world is the same but different in so many ways! Congrats on this lovely encounter, friend!
I couldn't quite put it into words, but this was exactly it. Thank you.
Big lil old guy
He is. Found a few more as we made our way back, and he was definitely the biggest.
I would name him Mr Boxy Turtely. Or Mrs Boxy Turtely but I don't know how to tell a turtle's sex.
