One Tired Turtle

May 29, 2009

in Wildlife in the Country

Sometimes we find critters in odd places around here.  Okay, a LOT of times we find critters in odd places.  A while back, for instance, we found a turtle snuggling up to the tire of one of the vehicles.

Box Turtle

Fortunately, we saw the box turtle before we drove off somewhere and accidentally retired the turtle for good. The turtle didn't hang around long however.  In fact, just a short time after I took the above picture, I went back outside and couldn't see the turtle anywhere.

It may have been one tired turtle, but it sure could move FAST.

Hey Jenny, glad to hear you got your picture okay! You’re quite welcome! Sorry it took so long… I always seem to have more things to do than I can get done. I think I need a maid or something, ha, ha!

Turtles love tires for some reason. We found a box turtle behind the tires of our car when I was about 12. So fortunate that we saw her, like you, before we backed over her. Took her home, named her (what else) Myrtle, and let her live in my swimming pool for the summer. :-)

What else indeed but Myrtle the Turtle!?! I’m sure she enjoyed living in your pool for the summer. :-)
