A Box Turtle Passing Through the Yard - Nature 165

We saw a turtle sneaking around the yard for sometimes. We believe the guy is a box turtle.

As watchers of nature, we believe the turtle come from a nearby pond, a quite big pond, like a small lake. 

The pond is about 16 houses that surround it. Turtles come up on the bank often to sunbathe and female turtles bury their eggs.

Late in the afternoon many of them come up to the shore to eat bits of bread that some people hand feed to them.

We recognize many of those turtles, and then we have named a few of them. They look so cute.
