Saving a Turtle in the Road

We had left the pool and were going home

I didn’t really want to pick it up

but with the guidance of my friend Beverly on the cell phone and a grocery bag as a glove, I got it off the pavement onto the park’s grass. It had even crawled under my car!

Beverly’s husband Henry is the zoological expert and he identified the species from my pic A Red Ear Slider which I looked up and unfortunately is an invasive species due to pet releases.
