Awwww, little box turtle!

I hope you moved her from the road after taking the picture.

Nice pic! I like how the rain gives it that sheen.

Thanks to everyone for their kind comments!

This particular road is a dirt & gravel county maintained road. Not much traffic but never-the-less I picked her up and placed her in the woods about ten feet from the road. In addition, we have been seeing a lot of turtles this year on the main road. Box, Painted and Snapping Turtles. I have actually stopped on the highway a few times this year and removed turtles from the road.

Yup, it's egg-laying time so there are a lot of turtles crossing roads this time of year. I haven't seen many myself this year, but a co-worker just had a snapper lay eggs in the yard of her new house.

Awesome colors! Nice shot, agree with Kirk, the rain really makes him pop.
