If Turtles can climb out of a rut, so can you.

 If Turtles can climb out of a rut, so can you.

 

I spotted Tommy the turtle the other day, but missed the shot because my camera was in my car. Yesterday I must have spotted the same one. On the first sighting it looked like the size of a manhole cover climbing up the bank. The one yesterday has to be the same one.

The picture doesn’t do justice based on what I saw and presented here. None the less we continue to attract all kinds of creatures here in the city of Atlantis, Florida. Enjoy nature and the wild it can be fascinating to observe.

Thanks for the post, Winston. I love turtles.  Chinese believe turtles represent longevity.

Good camera shot and great analogy.  Winson, you hit the nail on the head.  That looks like a fairly good sized turtle.

Great analogy and you are so correct. The turtle never see things as obsticles, probably as a journey.

Thank you for sharing the post with all of us.

Winston, are those turtles leaving Atlantis or arriving.

Note, they take their homes with them.

Come down to Boca and go to Gumbo Limbo at night when they have the progam. You will never forget seeing the Lumberback lay eggs in the sand.
