Hiking Wildlife
Turtle hiding a leg

Mike, Raz, and I went for a nice long hike over lunch on Friday. Raz is the self-appointed finder of wildlife and while he didn't really point out any Red Efts (mostly because they are everywhere) he did discover this nice, book-sized turtle. The turtle wasn't totally convinced of Raz's ferocity and only retracted a single leg in defense. Since the turtle didn't squeak or scurry away he wasn't of any interest to Raz, who pranced off in search of something more vigorous.
