Default Look what I ran into yesterday

I ran into this female Eastern box turtle in a friend's driveway late yesterday. She was out prospecting for a nest site.

absolutely stunning!
A classic beauty from what must be one of the most attractive species in this group of Chelonia.

Beautiful must be so nice to find them just wandering about in the wild.
