Turtle Sighting

I told the girls that I hadn't seen a turtle in a really long time.  


I REALLY wanted to see a turtle.


On our recent cabin trip, the Blossoms came racing back from their bike ride and crowing the exciting news.


There was frantic racing around to locate an appropriate corralling mechanism.


He must be captured and investigated!


Of course he was subjected to a full and thorough inspection.


Perhaps he was even interviewed.


Is he a box turtle?  


Not likely.


Wait, he's endangered?


His coolness factor has skyrocketed.


Though his kind has been sighted in numerous PA counties,


believe it or not, my understanding is that this wood turtle really is considered endangered.


He took off at a steady crawl to spread the word that he'd sighted an endangered species ~
four girls filled with wide eyed wonder.
