Gopher Turtle Out For A Saturday Walk

This morning I was hanging a new flag on my front porch and saw a Gopher Turtle on the road. Molly walked over to check it out! The turtle decided . .. she was outta here!
Molly wasn't so sure of the whole thing.
In Florida they are a protected. If you get caught removing them you get in BIG trouble!
She finally decided . . .I will just wait here until they leave.

That looks like a pretty good sized turtle!

This is a riot! It cracks me up that Molly had to go check it out too!

Cindy -they get pretty big!

Kristine - we call Molly our 3.8 pound guard dog . . . she cracks us up sometimes!

Wow! Cool turtle. Do you get a fine if you move it? Can you "help" it along, out of the street?

What a HOOT! Thanks for the laugh.

Kathy - I believe so . . all I know is that everyone has told us never to touch them or we would get in big trouble :-)

How cute!!

That is funny. We had snapping turtles in AL and they are over populated and so friends of ours shot one and kept the shell.
