3 Eggs

 

One day, we ran into a wise old friend.  She was too busy to greet us.  Instead, she showed us the importance of instinct and patience...

Leave my eggs alone!

We watched as she carefully covered her eggs.  Without any help, she intuitively knew where each speck of dirt belonged.

Mother turtle laying her eggs!

And when she was done, she picked up the strawberry that we left for her and went on her way.  I have a feeling she'll be back soon.

Sincerely, G.
