Turtle in the Grass

Tweet

One of the most important things I've learned ever since I took up nature photography as a hobby is to take my time and pay attention to what is around me. This paid off a couple days ago when I came across this turtle. It was a smaller turtle (not quite a baby but not much bigger than my hand) and, at first glance, looked like a rock. In addition, I found it in a place I wouldn't normally expect to see a turtle, out in the open in a grassy field with no water within easy reach. I have no idea why it was there but decided to leave it because I'm sure it had its reasons.
