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!

TURTLE!
This is eccentrically cool. Did you find him or set him up?

Both. I found him on a country back road. So I loaded him up in search of a road that had more interest, in particular one with the painted lines. Unfortunately, the road was a little busier and I got a lot of funny looks from people driving by. After I was finished, I returned him to a safe place away from any roads.

... and by that inane question, I mean did you have to nudge him onto his mark, or did you just let him turtle around for a bit?

What a beautiful capture this is. It was well worth the effort.

This one is a beautiful male ornate box turtle. the other one was probably a girl. Boys have red/brown/orange eyes and leg spots.
great photo though, the colors are fantastic, the setting sun jus' sets the mood.

Awesome! That would explain it! Thanks!
I know the asphalt and concrete soak up a lot of heat, but wow was I surprised how much while I laying on the road! I felt like I had run a mile when I got up!

Thank you, sir! That expression is probably an expression of frustration towards me!
