Gotta keep your eyes peeled!

Going down the road, for morning coffee at Mickey D's, when we spotted what seemed to be just too perfectly symmetrical to be a rock!   Stopped, looked, and sure enough, this is what we found!




This is a baby three-toed box turtle.   Already has a growth ring, so probably last year's hatch!  Approximately the size of a 50 cent piece!  We just had a friend say he'd never seen a baby box turtle.  We'll keep this guy to show him, and then repatriate him (the turtle) somewhere on our 20 acres.
