| Terrapin - Author's Picture |
Tentatively named, "terrapin," because I don't really know what s/he is. When I was young, we called them "terrapins." We pronounced it "turpen" (like turpentine) because of our weird Texas accents. This one was crossing the driveway when we returned home. We stopped and picked him up, kept him around for a little while, took pictures, and then let him go. He was moving fast, trying to get away. That week had been very wet because of a lot of rain. All kinds of turtles and snakes were moving about.
