The Release of a Box Turtle

[Jeanne]

My friend and I found this Box Turtle trying to cross a main road whewre we live in Pelham, NH. We couldn't just let him get run over by a car, so, we relocated him to a nice forest nearby with a nice pond.

Don't mind the crappy pictures, I took them with my cell phone.

Here he is:

Here he is testing out the water:

Taking the plunge!
