We stopped to let this Red-eared Slider cross the road along the Mississippi levee. When it was safely across, it stopped and gave us a backward glance as we passed by.
“There are those who pass like ships in the night, who meet for a moment, then sail out of sight with never a backward glance of regret; folks we know briefly then quickly forget. Then there are friends who sail together, through quiet waters and stormy weather, helping each other through joy and through strife. And they are the kind who give meaning to life.” ~Unknown

Reminded me of the hare & the tortoise fable. Cool.
One of my favorites!

It was mouthing a silent “thank you for taking care of me” … you pick the best quotes to match your blog posts.
Thanks, Linda!
So glad you stopped – I always do the same courtesy. They need all the help they can get!
Turtles are one of my favorite animals. Always glad to help them out. 🙂
What a special and endearing moment. Your quote is so fitting, too.
Thanks so much!
good karma & great quote Rebecca!
Thanks, Wayne! Glad to see the turtles out and about again. Hopefully spring weather will prevail!
