Went for a hike today and found a friend

Just a short hike through the woods, and I almost stumbled on this little guy. We exchanged head nods, and I went on my way.

I literally almost stumbled over him. I stopped for a breather, looked down at my foot, and he was right beside it.

Wow! Thats incredible! I love moments like that, where you connect, briefly, with a consciosness whose world is the same but different in so many ways! Congrats on this lovely encounter, friend!

He is. Found a few more as we made our way back, and he was definitely the biggest.

I would name him Mr Boxy Turtely. Or Mrs Boxy Turtely but I don't know how to tell a turtle's sex.
