About the photograph:

From time to time, I see box turtles around Rancho Nuvoid but they’re usually lurking under the shrubbery or peeking out from the edge of the woody forest, by the remnants of the natural spring. Today, I found one right out in the open, lounging about in the grass in the back yard. Amazingly, he hung around there all afternoon. It’s unseasonably cool today (low-70s ¬ unheard of for middle Tennessee in July!), so I wonder if that contributed to his unusual gregariousness. I had to grab the camera and take a picture of this amazing creature to post it on the blog. I ♥ Kingston Springs!
