Description
I was driving around Sunday evening and came across another Box Turtle crossing the road. This one is a little different than the first one I found([link] & [link] )...this one has red eyes and red on its scales, where the other one had yellow eyes and yellow on its scales. I had to be really patient with this series of pictures since I had to stop frequently to get out of the road for passing traffic. I'm sure I got many odd looks since I was laying on my stomach on the road!Here's a link to another variation, without a fill flash and different white balance: [link]
Hope you enjoy!

I have wonderful memories of my dad bringing home turtles he found crossing the road and releasing them in safer places. It makes me so sad to see turtles dead on the side of the road, even moreso than other roadkill. I think only dead dogs make me sadder.
Wow. That was depressing! Anyways, great pic!

Dead dogs really get me since I have two of them as pets. I'd be devastated if something happened to them...

maybe it sounds silly or like i'm coming at this from a beginner's point of view -- i guess i am -- but it's a nice use of thirds.
we just had a day of workshops at my college and one of the workshops i attended was on photography. he talked a lot about using thirds and all of that so i'm busy noticing them.
congrats on the DD!
